But tracks in Monkey's Audio format can't be added to Amarok playlist. Please add support for playing Monkey's Audio. 934863 1 myriam 2010-03-16 16:06:29 +0000 Not sure there is much we can do about this, I guess it depends on either taglib or Phonon. Subscribing the developers. Amarok doesn't produce sound itself, it depends on Phonon to do that, and the file type is not dependant on Amarok neither AFAICT. 1000417 2 mitchell 2010-08-09 00:59:44 +0000 They should be pulled into the collection if you have ID3-style tags in your APE files. Although TagLib might have some native APE support as well -- I can't remember. If it does we may not have parsing code for it. Basically, if you want this support you'll need to do much of the legwork, as our time is very limited. Compile TagLib's tagreader example and see if it can read your file; if it can, then support should be able to be added to Amarok. If it can't, then it's a TagLib issue. 1000467 3 lalinsky 2010-08-09 07:47:23 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 210404 *** 1000548 4 mitchell 2010-08-09 13:17:02 +0000 It might be better to wait on closing this until the tester confirms whether his problem seems to be on the TagLib side (for instance, corrupted files) or whether they're simply not playing in Amarok for him, which wouldn't be a TagLib issue at all. O.P., do let us know. 1000549 5 lalinsky 2010-08-09 13:22:20 +0000 Well, it has bee reassigned to TagLib, from that point of view it's a duplicate. :) Monkey's Audio support is only in SVN, not in any released version, so it can't work in Amarok when using regular distro packages.
