Debugging
If you have at least Window Vista please try VSD,
just copy it to your Amarok installation and run it in the command line
"vsd amarok --debug" to get the Amarok output.
An alternative o get debug output is DebugView but you can get a bit confused by the mass of output.

To enable Snarl or Growl support:
- In the Amarok settings dialog go to the section about Notifications and enable "Use system notifications"
- Start Snorenotify
- Then select your notification backend in the snore taskbar menu.
TODO
- i-pod support, building of libgpod is possible but device is not recognised by solid.
- ums recognition, fix solid
