    Yeah, and playlists suck. Just use my file structure directly, dammit!
    Amarok aims to be a full featured media player, and iTunes/Windows Media Player both have transcoding. Its useful for moving songs to players that only support limited media formats; and probably easier for most users than 'transcode'

    I third that. I never understood how someone can think that this is useful.

    Am I the only one who dislikes the whole "right-click and add/replace playlist" metaphor?
    It's the most important reason I use Juk. Awkward playlist sorting in Amarok is the other main reason.

    Amarok is the worst audio player and a worst example of software, slow, memory hog, bad UI layout. Takes ~100MB of memory just to start it up. They could learn something from foobar2000 and mimic the same design.

    nice.
    Most interesting for me is: "brand-new (completely rewritten) music collection scanner"
    The old one still kinda sucks. (even though it's kinda usable right now, it still has some hicups)

    I'm looking forward to the stable version .... maybe I should also try the beta ... if it isn't too broken ...

    Hmm, no sign of a MTP device synchronisation function yet? Ah well, guess I'll have to wait some more. Really looking forward to it. It's pretty odd how Amarok can see the MTP devices and read them, but not write to them, even if in Amarok 1 and other apps that utilise libMTP it works just fine.

    Phoronix: Amarok 2.4 Beta 1 Brings A Basket Of Features

    KDE Software Compilation 4.6 is set to be released in January and coming alongside that will be the Amarok 2.4 music player release. KDE SC 4.6 Beta 1 came late last month, but now Amarok is joining the Christmas party with its first 2.4 beta release. It brings a basket of new features, thanks in part to the contributions made this year with the Google Summer of Code project...
