Great news!
Now let's wait for final release and pray for a k3b sometime in the future :)

K3B and KAFFEINE. I just can't wait to see a Kaffeine that's based on Qt 4.

I should send my mockup of Kaffeine for devs, I just need to finish it (tryed to do it next 9months, so its now already too late!)

Lydia, you rock!

Will there be Kubuntu repositories for hardy?
I already have Beta 2 installed from launchpad, so dependencies shouldn't be that large a problem.

by Ljubomir (not verified)

You can use the Neon packages, they're up to date and working great.

by fabiank22 (not verified)

Yeah, but they seem to ship their own kdelibs... I already have the 4.1 beta2-libs installed, and don't wanna install 250mb of libs just for an amarok nightly.

I don't mind the redesigned playlist that some people are wary about. I think Amarok is one of the crown jewels of KDE. I'm really excited about the upcoming 2.0 release.

Amarok experimental repositories don't work in Debian :(

by andy (not verified)

Thanks for the Neon packages!

Its great, while I haven't understood the no playlist concept (and the alternative list view is a bit buggy) yet the technology looks pretty amazing.

Are there specific reasons why Amarok is not on EBN?

by Todd (not verified)

It maybe only an alpha, but am I the only one to think the interface is ugly?

by juanjux (not verified)

My sincere congratulations to all of the Amarok team for the best jukebox-audio-player on any platform.

Now prepare for my crash reports on the alpha :)
