Version: 2.1 (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When i changing (to completely other) collection directory and rescaning it, there is problem with displaying album names, if count of new positions is bigger than old then few albums has correct names but as many as was in old collection is wrong. Artist is the same (i accidentally select all my music and assign them to one artist and now changing collection directories by artist directory and rewriting correct artist name, try do the same and u should have the same effect)
I have experienced a similar problem. Here is what I did: ripped a new CD. waited for amarok to load into collection (approx 30mins), amarok did not find it although folder watching is enabled, clicked update collection, the album was found - but - amarok messed up the albums that hundreds of songs belonged to, ie, cover art remained correct but album name and year were corrupted. on closer inspection the actual ID3 tags were not corrupted, just amaroks own database. The only solution I could find to this was moving the collection to a blank folder and then starting from scratch with "rescan collection." Rescanning the collection without first emptied it as I've just said did not fix this bug, neither did a restart of amarok or a complete PC reboot.
is this a similar or the same problem https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186169 ?
