[gentoo-user] enable musicbrainz on amarok?

[b.n.]

Hi,

I recently recompiled amarok with the musicbrainz USE flag enabled, to 
allow tagging of mp3 files with musicbrainz.
However, when I try to "Edit tag information..." the "Fill-in tags using 
MusicBrainz" button is always disabled. It tells me to install 
Musicbrainz, but it's installed.

What should I do?

I am using amarok 1.4.5-r1 and musicbrainz 2.1.4 on an x86 stable system.

Thanks!

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140184
libtunepimp (which is the library for musicbrainz tagging)  has some
security problems, so the flag is disabled

There's some discussion here:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-498213-highlight-tunepimp.html

Doesn't seem like there's been much action lately on either of those
places, and my gentoo-fu isn't good enough to find where it's masked,
someone here probably knows more.

OT:  incidentally, while I can't speak for the gentoo community
regarding crossposting between forums and ml, it's something that you
might want to be careful about. /OT

I was aware of that but it seems to have been resolved: the musicbrainz 
flag is active again*, and tunepimp and musicbrainz are stable and 
emergeable in Portage.

The bug is RESOLVED FIXED and states that everything seems back to normal.
At least, that's what looks like...

*unless it has become some kind of dummy, useless flag, in that case 
it's a bug.

Well, not everyone follows BOTH forums and mailing list (for example I'm 
mostly a mailing list guy), but valuable help can come from both places, 
and someone looking for a solution shouldn't lose too much if misses one 
of two places. So I feel that crossposting is good not only for me, but 
for the community.

I don't know. I also have this USE flag enabled, without actually doing 
anything with it - until your post I did not even know what musicbrainz 
is. But I have the button enabled and it seems to work fine for me.

What I try in such cases is to rename .kde/share/apps/amarok so you start 
with fresh configuration, just as a test. Sorry, no more ideas.

Same here.
