Amarok 2.8 supports searching MusicBrainz by an audio-fingerprint. However this feature doesn't seem to work for me -- for example if I remove the ID3 tags from a known song and click on "Get Tags from MusicBrainz" I get no results.
From the Amarok manual:
Amarok 2.8 has the ability to guess tags from the MusicBrainz database. Click the Get Tags from MusicBrainz, wait a moment for the database to be searched for matches, and then Update Tags, or Cancel.
If you have the packages libofa and ffmpeg installed, and Amarok is compiled with them, Musicbrainz will be able to use "fingerprinting" (the MusicDNS service) to search for albums and tracks without good filenames or existing tags.
I have both libofa0 and ffmpeg installed, but this feature isn't working. By looking at the output of ldd amarok it doesn't seem that Amarok is even trying to load libofa. Is there something I'm missing, or do I need to compile Amarok manually with libofa in order to get it work?
