When your killerapp does not work...

If there is any reason, above all, for which I did start using linux with KDE, that would be Amarok.

That kind of feeling about deciding what distribution, or what kind of OS to use is called the killerapp effect. The application which force you to use the system which better integrates.

But... what happens when it does not work? My Amarok, after upgrading to the latest version of KDE 3 series (3.5.9) does not recognize the removable devices properly. I cannot use my mp3 player as before and, the fact itself it's a little bit stupid, but quite annoying. I am freaking me out!!!!

I used to sync my music database with the iPod and now... I cannot do that automatically... I thought I could even compile it from source... but not so much time right now to do it. How could I be so desperate??!?!?!

Now I am looking for the solution in the forums, IRC... but nothing! aaaarghh

What happen to you if your killerapp does not work??
