Amarok MySQL Support - Promised and Delivered
We told you it was coming. Sure, that was a while back, so you probably thought we forgot about it. Or maybe you thought we were simply playing politics, tossing empty promises to our users. Well...you were wrong.
It may be a bit later than planned -- we wanted to have it in time for 2.1, but it didn't happen -- but as of revision 984572, there is now support for storing an Amarok database on a MySQL server instead of the embedded MySQL database. There's no configuration dialog in the GUI yet, but it's pretty simple to set up, as explained below. All you have to do is add a few things into your amarokrc file and make a valid user on the MySQL server instance of your choice -- you don't even need to create the database yourself.
