Amarok’s cover fetcher.

Saturday, February 5th, 2005 - Español English

Doesn’t Amarok’s cover fetcher work on the latest SuSE’s 9.2 build? Here I’m talking about Amarok 1.2beta3, the audio player for KDE.

Having wondered for a while what was wrong, and just in case somebody happens to experience this very same problem, I’ll say here for the record that there is no bug (at least here).

Simply choose a locale setting inside Amarok’s Cover Manager (you’ll find a drop down list at the top of the window) and everything will work.

Anyone should work, but if you find that some of your covers were not fetched, you can try on a different locale (i.e. server). I got lots of covers from the german server which were not on the british one.

By the way, lots of covers are not well matched. And I mean lots. It’s funny (or rather disgusting) to see “Chill Out XXX” while listening to Brahms…
