on my machine if i click rebuild database amarok uses 100% of cpu time
(1 out of 4 core) for a quite a few / many hours before I give up and
kill it. It worked a while ago but broke when i last updated amarok. I
had just ripped some Bela Fleck though so maybe it has something
against the banjo. I'm not sure if it's to do with unicode. All my
tags are in unicode as i've got english, german, russian and korean
tags. The cyrillic stuff is all in the db fine though.
