I heard of that problem with special characters/spaces mix in the
file/folder names. IIRC fixed in the latest beta release (or prior).
On the other hand there was one in #amarok IRC channel still
mentioning that problem. So it should be fixed for the masses with
2.2.2.90
If you're brave enough, 2.2.2.90 is in kde-redhat repo.
Well, a couple of the tracks have accented characters in their titles,
though most don't. All I can find in BZ is
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172542, which doesn't mention
anything about special chars.
I tried changing the filenames to eliminate accents and spaces. This
made no difference, even restarting Amarok several times.
I reversed the above and tried a complete rescan (from the Settings
menu). That seems to have done the trick.
