Description Alibell 2011-07-28 15:55:04 UTC
Version:           2.4.1.90 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

I'm actualy on linux and I tried to import my old songs which I had to use on iTunes on Windows.
So I copy all my Music folder from windows to my linux partition, I import my itunes songs on Amarok and then I tried to import the iTunes Music Library.xml in order to get the files statistics on amarok.
The problem is that it doesn't recognize any songs.
So I opened the iTunes Music Library.xml and I saw that the paths used on that file are not symbolic but logical paths (file://localhost/C:\Document & settings\..."
I just modified the file to change these paths on "file://localhost/home/.../", tried to import my iTunes statistics again with the modified file and it just worked great !
So I just wanted to notify that actually the Itunes Music Library need to be modified in order to be imported.

PS : sorry for my english, but I'm french, I hope I've been understable

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just try to import a Itunes Music Library.xml from Windows on the linux version of Amarok.

Actual Results:  
It doesn't recognize any song.

Expected Results:  
It should recognize all the songs.

Unfortunately we just tagged Amarok 2.4.3 a few days ago, so this will have to wait.

Well, although I do not run have iTunes on my Windows system, but is Amarok compatible with the iTunes library. Also, have you tried it in a newer version of Amarok. Please help by providing your valuable feedback.
PS: Even my English may not be that great, I'm from Nepal :)

Is this still valid with Amarok 2.5?

Closing for lack of feedback. Feel free to reopen this report if the bug persists with Amarok 2.5 or later and you can provide the necessary feedback.
