Version: amarok 2.1.1 (using KDE 4.2.4) Compiler: gcc 4.3.3 OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages The following does not work for me: 1. Put .m4b-file in some folder which does not belong to the collection. 2. Open this folder in the "Files"-pane on the left 3. Drag the m4b-File onto the playlist Result: The file simply does not appear in the playlist. Workaround: Rename .m4b files to .m4a or .mp4. This is not helpful when trying to put these files on an ipod, though. Adding the files to the collection also helps In addition, these files cannot be dragged to my ipod (even if they are in my collection), but this might the same problem as bug #192851 I have reported this downstream at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267002 where it was suggested that I file a bug here. If you need additional information, just ask.
I can reproduce this with amarok-2.1.1 and gcc-4.3.2-r3 on x86. Willing to provide additional information as required.
Alejandro, any comment on this?

This may also have to do with TagLib. I'm adding Jeff as he knows TagLib best.
I must admit that I am currently stumped -- taglib's default file ref builder accepts m4b, and I added in custom file type resolvers that accept m4b, and still no-go. I'll keep looking into this though.
Fixed in git rev 343175043c8e2549d688fbd48dacea12a258c024
