I dropped Amarok 2.1 for Songbird in a mater of SECONDS. Ive never dumped any program that quickly. Not even KDE 4.0 Gold release. We apreaciate your effort, but not listening to comments and picking out insuts to avoid the comments is just side stepping. Dont become the government!!! There will be insults in most rants, thats just the nature of the beast.

I appreciate the effort of Amarok’s developers, but they should know that releasing this working version would cause this reaction.

I was looking for a replacement instead of Amarok2.1 and I found GMusicBrowser (http://squentin.free.fr/gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowser.html). Which is very very simple player but still it has more functions than Amarok 2.1. For the first time it’s hard to find out how it works but you can make from it any music player layout you like, even Amarok2 layout but with one difference – it plays music, reads ID3 tags and it doesn’t crash your system

Attempts to downplay how bad Amarok 2 is are simply futile. Amarok 1.4 is the best music management/player I have ever used. Amarok 2 is like a dumbed-down, half-assed, shareware app that I might have downloaded to my Windows box back in 96. So much of the functionality just vanished completely. The bloody menus and tabs *just aren’t there*. My immediate reaction was WTF is this shit?!!! I immediately became convinced that Microsoft or Apple, or some other evil empire has some deadly grip on the necks of KDE and Amarok developers. I hate Amarok 2 in the same way I hate KDE 4.2. Well, I hated KDE 4.2 first, but it was the Amarok 2 experience that had me scrambling to install gnome. I’ve since found that link above and got Amarok 1.4 back. Never again will I use KDE and I will never use Amarok 2. It’s not personal, I just hate it.

Indeed. As much as I dislike adjusting repo lists, that was quick, easy and effective – I too am enjoying my old amarok 1.4 again – however I’m still missing one difference between amarok 1.4 and qmmp – between songs, sometimes amarok burps, as if the update of song info trips it up a little, while qmmp updates the info while maintaining 500%+ flawless, interruption free, perfect audio playback. Very sweet.

Though if I didn’t NEED to listen to ebm-radio.com *all* the time I’d surely prefer amarok 1.4 for the last.fm functionality.

OK, to be fair on both sides, Amarok 2 is not only an abhorrent development over its predecessor but Canonical must share some of the responsibility for even including the dreaded app in the latest Kubuntu distro.

Heretic, you are completely awesome for sharing that. I just got that done tonight and it worked instantaneously and flawlessly. Having only opened Amarok 2 once before immediately closing it in shock and disgust, it will now easily become a distant, fading memory.

I must now go heap the requisite praise upon that blog post for they are clearly doing great works in the name of Humanity.
