Amarok 2.3.1 at the moment.
Amarok still won't recognize an audio CD unless Amarok is launched via the Device Notifier. If you start Amarok first, and insert an audio CD, it isn't listed when clicking on Local Music.
And Amarok still crashes playing an audio CD, the latest attempt here was using Random Tracks. Played the first two tracks, and crashed part way through the third. The random track selection worked.
I still dislike having to sign up for a last.fm account just so I can see my cover art. It was not this way in the 1.4 version, and I've never understood why the art can't be retrieved from the audio CD - it is there.

Last.fm for covers? You can choose that in a search, if you want -- but you certainly don't have to have a last.fm account for that to work.
Not sure where you got that idea, to be honest. What you need a last.fm account for is scrobbling, and a paid account for streams. That's it.

Later then they released version 2.0 and all I thought was "what the hell have they done ?".
The collection wasn't complete at all... as soon as I tried to skip a song or select a live stream it freezes... and in the end the new looks of amarok pissed me off.
However... forced by Ubuntu 9.04 to try out v2.2 I realized it got better again.
Again I could enjoy browsing through my music library and didn't have to worry when the application starts killing itself again.
Good to see the developers did something in the past and the new feature of customize amarok also doesn't look that bad :)

A very good program without all the unnecessary stuff that's packed into Amarok2 is Clementine - a direct port of Amarok 1.4 to qt4.
Definetely worth checking out.

Amarok 1.4 was manager, Clementine do not. And so it is not direct fork.

Don't mind about idiots that complain about this and that, as we have seen for kde 4 there always will be some idiots. They will come back with a later release and when they'll realize that are using an obsolete application.

Even if Amarok 1/2 made probably in the past, I don'k know which one version, some ugly thing with tags 'album'and 'author'of some Johann Sebastian Bach works in ogg, my favourite, Amarok is still my preferred music player.
I admit it caused some psychic lability to me too, but if I'd like to complain, that situation could be my egos much bigger pleasure, than it was. :-)

Amarok 2.1.1 seems a great app. It's not perfect but seems quite promising.
Thank's for your work, I'm really happy with this.

for my purpose is it the solution I prefer before other project. Some of players I tried even with all their problems without bigger lamentation probably don't exist anymore. :-) Other solutions either must still constantly grow to retreive some usable functions or are looking little slow.
I am interested in one thing: The export of entries in playlist to the editable list of these names of songs. Is there something for it. Or is there any way how to export such a list i a filemanager.
I am looking forward to Amarok 2.2. I am curious on the change in displaying of tabs (Collection, Internet, Playlists, Files) from vertical disposition to horizontal. Really I always had to rotate with my head to see these items before. :-)
The applet with 1) equalizer, or better 2) that vizualizer of spectrum of played music - osciloscope is that word? - this is the thing I would like to see placed in the the context window.
In settings - of course more setting: e. g. Replay Gain: in Audacious are some options to set it correctly.
Thank's for your work.

Wasting screen real estate with large unused spots and a non-removable, in your face plasmoid section, awful playlist usability, no drag-n-drop from playlist or collection to a filemanager, and all kinds of other annoyances.
And instead of focussing on usability and reimplementing the small but essential features that Amarok 1 gave us, the devs keep overreaching and re-re-re-implement 'eyecandy' here and plasmoid there.
I switched to Exaile. It isn't perfect, I had to patch it a little to get the drag-n-drop working, but at least it doesn't annoy me like Amarok 2 does.

Don't know which version you're using, but it must be pretty old. I assume buggy Jaunty with 2.0.2.
And don't write us, if you mean solely you.
Can't see any contribution from you on the official forums.
Perhaps the headline contains an error and it should be This boy sucks.
No, I don't want to start a new discussion about A2.

It's still a media player, no?
And if it's a new application, why quote "Easily the best media-player for Linux at the moment. Install it now!", which was an endorsement for amarok 1??!!
Quote:Don't know which version you're using, but it must be pretty old. I assume buggy Jaunty with 2.0.2.
You're right, I'm on Jaunty. A while back I made an attempt to compile from source, but the mysql-embedded dependency was a little strange, and at that time to much hassle to satisfy. Maybe I should try again, or find a more polished .deb
Quote:And don't write us, if you mean solely you.
I never did. Maybe you should read my comment again?

ad hominem. too easy. Besides, I did contribute an Amarok1 plugin, but apparently being a forum spammer on the official forum carries more weight.

And you contributed a plugin?
Didn't know, that Amarok 1 could be
extended by plugins.
But okay. Your mother is proud of you, for sure.

For the sake of Amarok's future, please bring back the interface of Amarok 3!

"Amarok 3" -> "KDE 3 version of Amarok"
"Amarok 4" -> "KDE 4 version of Amarok", aka Amarok 2
My mistake.
