Description Sebastian Buch 2006-09-04 16:12:52 UTC 
Version:           1.4.2 (using KDE 3.5.4, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.4-0ubuntu2~dapper1 )
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-26-386

When using Last.FM it is needed to have a collection of music stored into the program to see . Since I am using Amarok only with a USB-Disk which I mount with the Media-Player-Browser, in my case the collection is not needed.

Please change it so that you are able to see the Kontext Menu even if there is no collection of music.

Thanks a lot.

Amarok won't function properly without the context browser.

In 1.4.2, you can use the USB disk as a removable drive, as part of a dynamic collection.  When the device gets inserted/removed, then the collection will add/remove the appropriate songs as required automatically.

So, no need to use it as a media device.
Comment 2 Sebastian Buch 2006-09-04 17:34:01 UTC 
What about users who are only using Amarok for Onlineradio and Last.FM?
Comment 3 Sebastian Buch 2006-09-04 17:38:59 UTC 
I just removed the Disk and Amarok automatically removes the collection so the "Create Collection Database" is visable again.
Comment 4 Alexandre Oliveira 2006-09-04 17:41:01 UTC 
Changing the summary... Again...
