Don't install Arch, it'll break your machine. :twisted:

I just retried amarok at version 2.4.1 and it is still a mess. Populating the playlist with albums sorted by genre generates duplicate entries. The auto playlist generator (APG) still has the...

Arch's lack of package signing is a huge security hole that leaves it exposed. And no, md5 verification of packages does not cut it when it comes to security.

Not if one uses ABS or AUR.

Sometimes you get what you pay for.

Well, recordmydesktop is up to 0.3.8 as of this post and I just wanted to tell others about the rescue option that has been included since 0.3.7. I suffered a segfault when recording a screencast...

Funny since most people are griping about non-supported hardware. In order to get hardware manufacturers to care, they have to see reasonable adoption levels, likely approaching Apple's numbers. And...

You might be pleasantly surprised if you compiled the latest git pull of Clementine. It now has really nice integration of last.fm (along with wikipedia and other services).

I already did with a build script I used (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9577274&postcount=74), including compiling a newer xine engine to play mp4s and FLACs. I guess I meant to say that...

Sadly none. The closest that comes to it is Amarok 1.4, but it is a little clumsy when it comes to handling compilations (a proper smartplaylist fixes that). The less I talk about Amarok 2.3.*, the...

How much money this spamlist is going to net this guy?

Well, first, Pana was several months away when I first posted this guide and the only precompiled binary was amarok(14)-xine. Second, I believe one has to recompile Amarok 1.4.10 in order to use...

Yes, but GStreamer is not supported in Amarok 1.4.10

Mediamonkey. In my linux install I use a compiled amarok 1.4.10 and compiled xine-libs. Mediamonkey is fast and I feel that I have a lot more control over my large music collection than any linux...

Here's the build script I used, as I just wanted to show you which flags I used to compile amarok1.4.10:

Yeah, I have album art stored local folders, which deadbeef automatically detects. So far, I haven't seen any configurability options a la foobar2000, or something as accessible as fb2k, which can...

Yeah, deadbeef reminds me of plain vanilla foobar2000. It has been able to play everything I've thrown at it (APE, chip tunes (s3m, it, mod, mtm)). Very impressive and I am looking forward to its...

I actually used Arch's User Repository (aur) to get the build script on my Arch machine (sorry), which automagically compiled amarok 1.4.10 on my system. Doing it this way allowed me to enable some...

I cannot speak for sidux, but if you want to compile everything a la gentoo in arch, then there is abs and makepkg. If you want to set your CFLAGS, then you can edit /etc/makepkg.conf. Arch gives...

Kubuntu KDE is not vanilla KDE. They have their custom patches to work with their patched kernel and xserver, so some bugs (not all) associated with kubuntu are distro-specific. This is where all...

Good to hear it working out for you. Sorry that I cannot help with the arthritis.

All I did was install wine and winetricks, so far so good. Sure there was quite a number of dependencies that had to be installed (see bin32-wine's PKGBUILD), but so long as they install correctly,...

Huh? It is fairly easy getting 32bit wine to install on arch64. The trick is to install wine from the Arch User Repository (AUR) using a tool that can grab pkgbuilds from aur. Yaourt is a pretty...

Download the file and open up the script manager in amarok (under tools, going by memory). Point to the file and install. Then go back to script manager, select the script and select run.

First things first: amarok2 is an abomination of a music player, this coming from a KDE fan who has tried to live with it for the past two months (2.3.0 & 2.3.1). There are better options out there...
