Hi bss,
Yes, we are aware that compilation support truly sucks donkey balls in Amarok 2. Unfortunately nobody has stepped up to fix it (it’s not an easy fix, like everyone would hope and think).

I don’t know if Seb is still checking this, but I concur with Will Stephenson. The Various Artists support is broken — whenever I try to make an album set to Various Artists, it results in an album for each unique Artist – Album pair showing up under Various Artists, instead of just one album under it. And I have to set “Show under Various Artists” for each said Artist – Album pair, which is entirely unreasonable for huge collections like OCReMix.

Does this need a bug? Am I just out of my mind? This seems like a really obvious problem to me after about five minutes of Amarok 2 usage.

Really good, thank you.
What about to add a visual feedback (near the icon for example) of the collapsed/expanded collection?
now I’m still waiting the crossfade feature to make a party with amarok2, right now I can use the amazing amarok2 only for myself …

[...] Amarok 2.1: Mini Update I don’t like to tease too much — so to save you asking, Amarok 2.1 beta 1 should be available for widespread testing within a fortnight. Lap it up when it arrives! [...]

The Grand Unified Compilation Bug get some action during the week was great to see. Thanks a whole heap to Michael Quinn and other contributors to that patch, as it’s by far the biggest pain point in Amarok 2 for me personally.

n00bzor, try using the Bespin widget style. It includes a few hacks to customize Amarok, including one to hide the middle panel.

Also, on the update: FINALLY!

I have a fairly complete OCRemix collection, which means my “Game” genre currently features something like 900 copies of the EXACT F**KING SAME ALBUM! I was under the impression that nobody was doing anything about it, and was just about to give in to despair. You’ve saved me.
