Description optiluca@gmail.com 2009-09-04 14:31:58 UTC

Version:           2.1.1 (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Hi.  I have been using Amarok 2.x for the past months, and a selection of bugs (which are luckily being addressed for 2.2 from what I understand) has rendered my statistics completely useless, as I've had to wipe the database numerous times.  The only place where an accurate collection of stats exists is last.fm, which I have been using since Amarok 1.4.x. Would it be possible to implement a "reverse scrobbling" feature, where last.fm stats are transferred to amarok's database?  I have found a script that used to do this on Amarok 1.4 http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Last+Sync?content=65784, so I know it is technically viable.  An option could be added to the "import collection" button, in addition to Amarok 1.4 and iTunes.

Thanks in Advance

Luca

It would be really nice to sync statisctics with last.fm.
In my example last.fm represents my playcount at best;)

StatSyncing: ChangeLog and BUG: tags for the final merge

This is a cummulative ChangeLog for my GSoC 2012 project, statistics
synchronization.

Individual commits responsible for the changes are earlier, but under
the same git merge.

FEATURES:
  * Track dragging support in Unique Tracks tab of the Synchronize Statistics action;
    allows you to do a "diff" between collections and transfer missing tracks.
  * Amarok now scrobbles tracks in streams if the stream correctly updates
    meta-data.
  * When scrobbling to Last.fm, Amarok announces suggested tag corrections.
  * Ability to scrobble recently played tracks from iPod (and the like) to Last.fm.
  * Synchronization of labels and rating between Last.fm and Amarok collections;
    play count can be synchronized one-way from Last.fm to Amarok.
  * Statistics synchronization between collections, supports rating, first / last
    played time, play count and labels.

CHANGES:
  * Configure Amarok dialog gets new Metadata tab to grab some weight from the
    Collection tab and to configure statistics synchronization.

BUGFIXES:
  * Better Last.fm scrobbling behaviour and error reporting due to rewrite,
    should fix long-standing problems.
  * Update stream meta-data correctly even with phonon-gstreamer back-end.
