[Bug 133554] Re: Rebuilding collection eats up too much memory

[Jeff Mitchell]

Okay, I took the nine files you gave me (m4a, mp3, and 6 .torrent files)
and put them in a directory (along with the .tar.gz file too), and had
Amarok scan it.  No problems whatsoever.  Scanning took an instant and
the MP3 file showed up in the collection (the m4a file didn't, but it
appears to have no metadata, or else I couldn't read it...it did play
correctly though and I do know people with collections with many m4a
files so I think that's a local issue).

So here's what I would do:

1) Move these files off of the ntfs-3g partition, and onto a normal ext3/reiser/etc partition.  Put them in a folder there, configure Amarok to scan that folder as well, and see what happens.  If it suddenly works, and moving them back to a folder on the ntfs-3g partition makes them not work again, then that narrows the problem down significantly.
2) Upgrade Amarok to 1.4.7 if you aren't running it already, or if no package is available pester your distro.  Just cause, the latest version of Amarok is always the greatest :-)
3) If it still persists, try bugging for a new taglib snapshot...or check out the sources from SVN and build it yourself and see if that helps.

If you've done all that and the problems not solved, I don't have any
good answers for you by this point (use Gentoo?  :-)  )
