Hello all,
Amarok has always had serious concerns about the reading of CD audio. And that's unfortunately the ONLY software affected by this problem. Too bad because it's my sense collection manager and player the most powerful, hence my disappointment of not using it because of that. I add that I do not spend on KDE with Kubuntu for that too, and I swapped amarok cons clementine, though less powerful.
In version 1.4, cddb information were not recovered.
In versions 2.x (now 2.4), audio cd tracks are all 0:00 in duration and amarok refuses to move from one track to the next.
I am willing Amarok does not play main role of audio cd, but yet it is still the main support and it is ESSENTIAL that a player worthy of the name can do it!

My question is: Is this only on Ubuntu distributions that this problem exists? I thought I read on the forum Opensuse that the problem was also present on this distribution. And can we solve this major problem?
