Description Roman S. 2009-01-02 17:52:05 UTC
Version:           2.0 (using KDE 4.1.3)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

The MusicBrainz is not supported anymore in 2.0. Could you please bring back this feature?
Comment 1 Lydia Pintscher 2009-01-05 17:57:38 UTC
Yes something like this is on our todo list. No need to keep a report open for it though.
Thanks.
Comment 2 Seb Ruiz 2009-01-05 22:23:51 UTC
Why not keep the report open. It doesn't hurt, and lets us mark duplicates against it.

Comment 6 Leo 2009-12-18 20:13:48 UTC
Are any chance to have some new about this "bug"?
Comment 7 Vovochka 2010-01-16 06:56:04 UTC
How long it will be just in todo list? :(
Comment 8 Daniel Dewald 2010-05-13 01:07:09 UTC
MusicBrainz support wont be coming back afaik. However I've implemented the last.fm fingerprint System to guess tags from last.fm fingerprint created via Phonon. The code is currently in review and still needs some work (and has some bugs). But its being done ;o).
Comment 9 Sven Krohlas 2010-05-13 10:07:45 UTC
Correct.

For everybody willing to test the patches so they get in good shape soon:

Comment 10 karaluh 2010-05-13 10:14:16 UTC
What is the reason to use last.fm tags and not musicbrainz ones?
Comment 11 Sven Krohlas 2010-05-13 10:21:39 UTC
We don't want to introduce yet another dependency. We already depend on liblastfm (optionally).
Comment 12 markuss 2010-12-11 15:30:45 UTC
So much for "WONTFIX": Amarok 2.4 with MusicBrainz support, incl. mass tagging. http://amarok.kde.org/en/releases/2.4/beta/1
Changing to "FIXED".

I have the feeling the wind has changed around here. 
Lastfm is a corporation. Musicbrainz is an open, collaborative
project, and all its data is in the public domain:

I don't understand why on earth lastfm should be favored
when there is an open alternative, which worked great in 1.4
Comment 14 Leo 2010-12-14 09:00:11 UTC
thank you for the new implementation!!! finally!!!!!!!

Did you see that Musicbrainz is implemented for the upcoming 2.4 release and this bug is closed? A bug tracker is not the place for rants.
