Amarok collection corruption

Software

Well dang nabbit! I love how Amarok has a nice OSD with album covers, works with my laptop's multimedia keys and how it makes searching and queuing wonderfully easy. But did it really have to corrupt my music collection?

It's not fun to see a Taking Back Sunday album filed under Nekromantix with song titles from The Offspring while it is actually an album by Rise Against. Rescanning my collection didn't solve the problem, so I had to manually delete the file and start with empty scores and statistics all over again. It's times likes these I wish Amarok could import statistics from Last.FM, or that I would write a plugin to keep statistics myself (but for now I will focus on extending Kiki's user profiles and my hopefully successful publish your gig calendar campaign).

Put your gig calendar on your site!

Cool: you can now put your gig calendar on your site! Just put this on your MySpace, blog or LiveJournal, but replace with your login:

Your image is generated the first time it is loaded. I will make a schedule job to delete the cache every night, which means your image will be updated daily. Kiki is growing up.

Update: this tool will let you preview images and generate code for any style available.

See what gigs your mates are going to!

Gigs

Ever wondered who else is going to a gig you have planned, or wonder if anyone is going anywhere because you're out of plans yourself?

No problem with Kiki. You already had a gig calendar and now it comes with a list of all gigs of your mates. Now you never have to miss out on any fun anymore.

(Update: I'm so glad I built a gig calendar so I won't have to write journal entries like these anymore! :-)
