[Bug 426070] [NEW] amarok mishandles changes in the collection

[Stilor]

Public bug reported:

Amarok2 does not handle changes in the collection correctly. For
example, when a a file/directory is renamed, many files/albums in the
collection are renamed, sometimes albums go to a different artist,
sometimes the album's year becomes empty or wrong. Deleting
.kde/share/config/amarokrc and .kde/share/apps/amarok and rescanning the
whole collection restores correct view of the collection.
