Amarok Fedora 8 Updated
Since mysql was also too slow for me I decided to move again to postgresql this time!
I followed the instructions in following this tutorial.
But when I changed my amarok configuration I got an amarok error telling me that the connection could not be made.
After googling I finally found the answer : you will have to edit the following file : /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
Change :
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident sameuser
to
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 password sameuser
Restart your service (service postgresql restart) and everything will work perfectly! 
Fedora 8 – amarok
Damn I’m using amarok already a few weeks and I have to say “I’m impressed !”
Not only lastFM is build into it , but also the information that he shows about the artists and albums is very extended.
So I decided to merge all my music on 1 pc and let amarok handle it. But oh wait, while he was indexing all my music he simply stopped working.
Did I had to much music ?
No I simply had made the wrong choice while setting up amarok.
I had chosen for the default installation which includes SQL-Lite instead of a faster DB like Postgres or MySql.
So I had to change it. And am I glad that I did that , the difference is huge.
More information on how to set up amarak for postgres and mysql can be found here and here
