Amarok 1.3 is no longer supported. I assume you mean 1.4.3?
Apologies. Yes, I do mean 1.4.3.

I have the same problem in my gentoo installation. I'm using Amarok 1.4.3 with taglib 1.4 and KDE 3.5.5. In my case every change I commit to the flac tags corrupts the file at 95 to 99 percent when running 'flac -t'. Flac version is 1.1.2. Tagging or retagging files with foobar through wine works fine. Hope you can fix this soon.
same here. i also have a gentoo-environment. gcc-4.2. taglib 1.4-r1 and amarok-1.4.3-r1. tried rebuilding taglib and amarok a few times. this bug remains. thanks
In my case this seems to be fixed. Don't know what exactly resolved the problem, but I have upgraded Amarok to 1.44. Maybe the devels resolved this (though I didn't find anything in the changelog).
I've got the same problem... After editing tags with amarok 1.4.3 (on Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy), the file cannot be read entirely! A test of the flac file confirm there are a lot of errors... All my music collection is in flac! I don't want to corrupt it all! I hope my english was not too bad... A french user who loves amarok.

I've just installed Amarok 1.4.4 on Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft and the problem seems to be solved : Amarok isn't corrupting my flac files yet :) Nevertheless, I can't "repair" the file with Amarok... I tried to retag all the files corrupted but it doesn't change anything :(
This was an Amarok issue that they solved a while back. Actually it wasn't FLAC specific, but just happened to have a higher chance of being triggered with larger files. (Basically they would get two threads writing tags at the same time causing wacky results.)
Can I request a precisement for the "a while back", please. Can this be expected to not occur any more with AmaroK 1.4.4? Some comments seem to indicate this would be the case.
