361333	2005-06-05 03:51:00	As i result of Chills recomendation on this thread ( . pcworld . co . nz/showthread . php?t=58407&highlight=amaroK" target="_blank">forums . pcworld . co . nz) I gave ameroK a go . What a great little program, It plays all the audio, it looks up the track on "musicbrains" and can get me CD covers and/or lyrics to display, it can even edit the ID tags, and it uses ID tags rather than file names to search the tracks out for the playlist . . . . . . :thumbs: However this is the point were it falls over . :eek: Running as guest, and playing music that does not belong to guest amaroK works well, however, when i attempt to alter the ID tags, thus effectively trying to alter a file i don't have ownership off, amaroK falls over . To perfect this program, i think it needs to be prepared for this sort of thing, and have an error message to the effect of: "Sorry dude, this file is read only, you can't mess with it like that!" rather than just fall over dead . One thing i will almost garentee is that my guest-users will try and delete and/or alter files, probably believing that they are only effecting the playlist, not realising delete means delete the file, not remove it from the playlist . Therfore amaroK won't be the default player for guest after all! So it looks like amaroK is great running as root, but has a tendancy to fall over if asked to do anything that is beyond what a user may rightly do . What a shame it gives all the options to edit files (fall over now) anyway . :annoyed: I wonder if there is anyway to remove these instability functions from its menu?	personthingy (1670)
