Amarok temporarily freezes while switching songs

Asked by tsukiyomi100

I'm running Amarok 1.4.7 on Ubuntu Gutsy. The problem occurs when I try to switch to another track. When I switch to another song the audio starts playing fine but Amarok hangs for 3-4 seconds before it shows the OSD preview. I tried to disable the OSD preview, but Amarok still hangs.

I have my music files on my windows partition (if that affects the performance) and I have not tried to move the files on to the Linux partition.

How many song do you have in your collection over all, and in how many in your playlist?

I have about 2000 songs in my collection. Also, this problem happens no matter what size my playlist is...I have had this problem when my playlist is small (2-5 songs) or when its large (entire collection).

Please try with a Linux partiton. Also, what windows partition type is it?

Thank you for the suggestion....Give me one or two days and i'll let you know if switching to the linux partition fixed it.

Btw: My Windows partition is NTFS.
