Version: Amarok 1.98 (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Starting with an empty collection, but with a (active) Playlist in the 'current.xspf' file, the result of a collection scan is that the Collection explorer will not show those entries that were present in the Playlist. However the 'collection_scan.files' file, shows that the collection scan did actually retrieve them.
I don't understand. Are you saying that if you start without a collection, but have a playlist with entries, that these entries should be listed in the collection? Could you give a clearer example or perhaps some screenshots illustrating the problem?
Hopefully I can make myself a bit clearer. I have stored the following in a folder: ../<Album 1>/<Song1-1> ../<Album 1>/<Song1-2> ../<Album 1>/<Song1-3> ../<Album 2>/<Song2-1> ../<Album 2>/<Song2-2> ../<Album 2>/<Song2-3> ../<Album 3>/<Song3-1> ../<Album 3>/<Song3-2> ../<Album 3>/<Song3-3> Suppose my Collection is empty, but I have <Song1-2> and <Song1-3) in my Playlist. After performing a collection scan the collection browser will show ... -Album 1 Song1-1 -Album 2 Song2-1 Song2-2 Song2-3 -Album 3 Song3-1 Song3-2 Song3-3 ... and as such miss the two songs that were in my Playlist. However, checking the 'collection_scan.files' file, shows that the collection scan did actually retrieve these two songs. I can reproduce this time after time.

I have this bug too... The most strange thing is when I run amarokcollectionscanner -r * it finds the missing files in collection. I just don't know why it don't add it to the collection. It happens for mp3 and ogg files.
Maybe its related with this: http://amarok.kde.org/forum/index.php?topic=15871.0
Is this still present in 2.0.1.1 ?
Yes, I still have this problem on Kubuntu with version 2.0.1.1, however ..... the problem is NOT present on openSuse 11.1, which also uses version 2.0.1.1. In both situations I used the same mp4 source files, which are stored on a network share.
This problem still appears on Kubuntu 9.04 with Amarok 2 compiled from SVN [current from 2/8/09]. Attempting to recompile latest source to see if it still exists.
This report is another dupe of the collection scanner bug report. The symptoms are typical of the problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 176154 ***
