Version: 0.2.0 (using KDE 4.6.3) OS: Linux There are certain file types supported by VLC and thus also by Phonon when using the VLC backend that are not recognized as being supported. Such file types are *.it (Impulse Tracker), *.s3m (ScreamTracker III) and *.xm (Fasttracker II). Playing these files calling Dragon Player from the shell (`dragon milky.xm`) works, but you cannot open a file with such an extension using the file open dialog. Amarok won't event let you add such files to your playlist. In fact it removes all such files from your playlist and collection when you restart it using the VLC backend. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try to open a *.it/*.s3m/*.xm file using the file open dialog of Dragon Player/Amarok. Actual Results: File cannot be opened. Expected Results: Open and play file.

Wow thanks for the fast response! I hope this will be in Fedora stable packages soon. :)
If not, just file a bug in the Fedora bug tracking system. This fix is trivial enough for them to just patch in. :)
Oh I forgot to mention *.mod files (ProTracker, audio/x-mod) which is the original module file format and of course also supported by vlc. This file format has various aliases: *.module, *.nst, *.wow. But they are very uncommon (never seen them, but then I don't listen to that much module files).
