Comments on: Amarok 2.0 uses MySQL http://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2008/12/25/amarok-20-uses-mysql A permanent record for what's interesting today - this is my live journal Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:35:48 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Poke http://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2008/12/25/amarok-20-uses-mysql/comment-page-1#comment-138330 Poke Sun, 03 May 2009 13:16:19 +0000 http://www.bytebot.net/blog/?p=1243#comment-138330 MySQL is the main reason I have chosen Amarok in the past. My collection is way too big for anything else. The old default database in Amarok was so slow it was unusable. Now that they have it built in and I don't have to configure it by hand is the clincher. I am recommending Amarok to everyone. MySQL as default makes this a killer app. MySQL is the main reason I have chosen Amarok in the past. My collection is way too big for anything else.

Happy using AmaroK :) Considering I work on/at MySQL, it only makes sense for one to be excited that its being used in a regular desktop application that lots of people use. Happy using AmaroK :)

Don't make sense at all. Amarok is way better than Rhythmbox and MySQL has nothing to do with it. Decide on music player based on the backend database?
Don’t make sense at all. Amarok is way better than Rhythmbox and
MySQL has nothing to do with it.

I was just wondering today what Rhythmbox uses. When I connect to my streaming music server with it, it gets unresponsive for about a minute, and it's really pretty slow to sort/search/whatever the list of songs. I'm pretty sure I can blame this on its internal code, since I also have a Roku soundbridge device that gets the list of songs from the server in a second or two and has no trouble sorting, searching etc. I bet it's a bunch of linked lists and not a proper database ;-) But I haven't even peeked at the code.
