But, to be honest, why would anyone bother with amarok when there are more superior applications available, for example vlc or xine? Amarok IMHO is good application, I like it, it does what I want. VLC is good, but as far as I know, it does not work with collections in certain directory as Amarok does.
I would like to know what you mean by this.
What "collections in certain directory" vlc won't work?
vlc has yet to fail me in anything I want it to play/view/record.
As You know, in Amarok You choose Your music directory and it then shows Your music sorted according to interpret, genre, ... as written in ID3 tags. As far as I know VLC does not do this. It is useful feature. ;-)
And Xine IMHO is not so good.
With this I agree. vlc is superior to xine, although I used to use xine as a "backup" to vlc - until I installed the first test version of openSUSE 12.2 after which the wheels fell of xine (and the wheels have yet to be recovered) :-( .
What *I* would be questioning is why amarok automatically installed? And why also automatically install kaffeine which does the same thing as amarok, as far as I am concerned? Waste of space and time. Well, it is actively developed
Umm, would you like to rephrase this? :-)
Well, is it bug of Amarok? MySQL? SUSE specific or general problem? Amarok is default KDE application for music playing. As long as it is part of default installation, it has to be kept working. Any statements about "Use XY" are useless - it's like say "Dolphin does not work, use Nautilus!" It is default application and it has to work without any problems for not skilled users. As far as I know, practically no one cares about Kaffeine.
Applications which are being "actively developed" don't have 12-month old unfixed bugs :-) .
How did other distros faced this issue?

and it is default KDE application. It has a lot
of functions, it works well. There is no reason to change it to let it broken for a year. ;-)
I think that you do need to rephrase your comments! :-D
