On Friday before applying a f16 update I was using Amarok. I don't use it often but it seemed to be working OK. Then after the upgrade, on restarting amarok, it asked my location (US) for Amazon store which I entered (don't remember being asked that before). Anyhow, after the upgrade, Amarok would run for a short time and then hang with lots of disk activity going on but continue play a song. After killing it I noticed a amarokcollection indexer running in the background which I also killed. After starting it a back a few more times with the same result (Amarok hangs with the collection program running hard) I found that I had to disable recursive directory searches to prevent this in Amarok preferences. I think maybe amarok uses mysql but not sure. After this same upgrade that I applied on Friday, indexing a large LXR database with mysql took a *very* long time, as I mentioned in an previous post. Both of these problems seems to start after the Friday update that included a mysql update and possibly an amarok upgrade too. (LXR is a add-on sourceforge program that consists of perl scripts and is not part of Fedora.) -gene
