Music Player Amarok 2.5 Released

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday December 20, 2011 @04:06PM from the onward-and-upward dept.

jrepin writes with this quote from an article at The H: "The Amarok development team has released version 2.5 of its open source music player and organizer, code-named 'Earth Moving.' Among the changes highlighted by the developers are re-written support for USB mass storage devices, GPodder.net podcast synchronization and an integrated Amazon MP3 store. The GPodder.net support includes the ability to browse directly from Amarok through the list of recommended podcasts on GPodder.net. Users of playlists on Amarok will find the new playlist functionality in 2.5 such as the ability to use formatted strings in Playlist layout items as prefixes and suffixes, dragging and dropping tracks in an empty area in the list of playlists to create a new playlist, and, in that same empty area, the addition of a new 'create new playlist' action."

Amarok 1.4.6 For life by PenquinCoder · 2011-12-20 16:18 · Score: 5, Insightful

Amarok 2.0 came out and I ditched it. Up until then, it had been for me the best music player I've ever used. The redesign really screwed it up.

Progress is not a smooth curve. You have to take some risks, or else everything stagnates. Don't be such a luddite.
