Version: 1.4.3 (using KDE 3.5.4, Debian Package 4:3.5.4-3 (testing/unstable)) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.061004 If a song file/title has a backslash in it, you can't play it or seemingly do very much with it. In some dialogs it displays wierdly, and operations seem to fail on the file (like editing artist). The song entered the music database when I ran an import on a existing directory structure containing music, which contained the file. I can't comment on whether you can get a file with a backslash in the name in any other way.
A little bit more testing shows that this occurs with the postgres database backend. After switching to the SQLite backend, the song has two backslashes in the displayed name, and plays correctly.

Works fine with the MySQL backend for me, too. Is this bug still reproducable in 1.4.4 for you?
Don't know. I switched to the sqlite backend. I might be able to test this again later on.
Amarok 1.4.x is in bugfix-only mode as development is focused on Amarok 2. Unfortunately your bug will very likely not get fixed, as the risk of regressions is too high and the Amarok developers do not have the resources for it. Thank you for your report though. Please don't hesitate to report new bugs should you have any problems with Amarok 2 once it is released. Since amarok 2 will not work with Postgres, it is very likely, that this bug needs no more attention.
Thank you for your report, please come back if you encounter any bugs in amarok 2.
