Why not open a last.fm account and import your current stats, then just make
sure that all of your variaous installations of amarok scrobble? Then you'll
have play statistics from all your players/devices in the one place.

<br>
I want to find some way to use Amarok on multiple computers, and have<br>
all my statistics stay synced with all of them.  My idea right now is<br>
to use Dropbox  by copying ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok to my Dropbox<br>
folder, then replacing ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok with a symlink on each<br>
machine.  I did a grep on that entire directory for my computer&#39;s<br>
hostname, and it didn&#39;t find it, so it seems independent of that.  It<br>
looks like I&#39;ll have to make sure that my username is the same on each<br>
computer, but that isn&#39;t much of a problem.  I also need to have my<br>
music stored in such a way that the paths are the same on each<br>
computer, I think (I might start paying for more space on Dropbox so I<br>
can move my music there).  Are there any problems I&#39;m missing?  Is<br>
there a better way to do this?  I&#39;d theoretically like to also be able<br>
to share this collection with Amarok running on a windows machine, but<br>
I think that adds a whole new level of difficulty.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
