Version: 2.4.0 (using KDE 4.6.1) OS: Linux I have some albums in flac format but when I try to show them in the amarok file browser, amarok doesn't show them. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a directory with flac files Actual Results: 2. Amarok doesn't show anything in this directory Expected Results: Amarok must show flac files Here my bug report at opensuse: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679166
The problem is probably specific to OpenSUSE, it displays correctly here on Kubuntu 10.10
It also works on openSUSE 11.3. The problem is probably that the mimetype for flac files changed from audio/x-flac to audio/flac with the first only being an alias with shared-mime-info 0.80 (release September or October 2010 AFAIK). Amarok always uses audio/x-flac in the code. So my guess would be that Kubuntu uses an older shared-mime-info. So maybe this should be reopened?
Christian: I don't think it's Amarok that reads the file type, it uses what the system provides, which is the Phonon backend. If one of the backends doesn't read a MIME type correctly, this should be reported elsewhere.
I am using Kubuntu 11.04 64-bit Kde 4.7. Also for me, when I open a folder that contains .flac files, amarok doesn't show the files! I use GStreamer backend
Reassigning to Phonon-backend-gstreamer. Amarok only shows what the backend provides.
experiencing the same problem with mp4 files using the gstreamer phonon backend - the files do not show in file browser but if I drag the folder into the playlist the tracks show and play in the playlist openSuse 11.4 x64, Amarok 2.4 git self compiled, phonon-backend-gstreamer-0_10-4.5.1-3.2.x86_64

Works for me when using master code of the gstreamer backend.
Using VLC backend, m4a files now appear in version 2.5.0 (kde 4.7.3) I consider this bug closed.
Whoops, thought I would try gstreamer, nope, doesn't work. So, the problem still exists. I switched from VLC to gstreamer, restarted Amarok and m4a files did not show. Using Gentoo 64 bit.
