In previous versions of Amarok I had a pane in the context browser that offered tracks I might like to listen to based on whatever the current track was.
I have a huge diverse collection and this feature was actually quite good at highlighting music I might like to play next (in fact the killer feature it was missing was the ability to feed the current playlist so that I got unattended non-stop but relevant music from my collection).
Dynamic playlist mode does exactly this, appending suggested tracks non-interactively, which is very, very good stuff. I'm using 1.4 to do this. (Playlists tab>Dynamic Playlists>Suggested Songs.)
Random playlists are also fun. They can get a bit surreal mode though. :-)
In the version installed by Dapper (1.3.9) this feature seems to have vanished (or at least it is off by default and I can't work out how to turn it on)
Anyone know if it can still be enabled ?
Does?
Assuming not your version doesn't allow right clicking on the context menu and checking "show suggested songs" (amarok is always having the UI improved at the moment as the author's on a rather fruitful UI design mission) you should grep "uggest" ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc and change it as necessary.
If you do find it's enabled and nothing's showing, then I know it's a dumb suggestion, but it's possible your context browser is skinned with a duff css. Have you tried changing to another style?
