- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -4/+32Windows port please?!
- ptFoe, on 05/06/2008, -0/+16I have been saying this for sometime if you are developing a Linux app. and you need a large number of testers and exposure you need to have a Ubuntu repository. Ubuntu users aren't into this compiling *****.
- nhnFreespirit, on 05/06/2008, -1/+15Ok, I admit that was poorly phrased by me. Amarok 2 will not build or run using the KDE 4.0.X libraries. It will however run in a KDE 4.0.X session if the KDE 4.1 dependencies ( provided by Neon ) are installed. So in essence we agree! the point I was trying to make was that really, it makes no difference if you run the KDE 3 or 4 version of Hardy as you will have to install the, Neon provided, KDE 4.1 dependencies either way.
For the record, I am one of the Amarok hackers! .-) - moocow1452, on 05/06/2008, -0/+12Fire!
- nhnFreespirit, on 05/06/2008, -5/+17No. Amarok 2 will not run on Hardy's KDE4 remix as Amarok 2 requires the upcomming KDE 4.1. The point of Neon is to provide not only Amarok, but also pre built packages of the KDE 4.1 dependencies.
- reldruh, on 05/06/2008, -0/+11I've been compiling from svn for a while, here are some screenshots from a few days ago. If there's anything else you want to see, let me know:

There are a couple of amarok2 nightly packages, some of which download the necessary kde things. But, after installing it, you won't get a new choice upon login and all of kde isn't installed at all.
- inactive, on 08/26/2008, -1/+11Earth!
- dualscreenman, on 05/06/2008, -1/+11This is incorrect. The amarok team has also built and made amarok-nightly depend the necessary KDE 4.1 packages that Amarok2 now uses. They are listed as amarok-nightly-qt and amarok-nightly-kde, etc. It's installing right now, but Amarok2 should run just fine right here on Kubuntu-KDE4 Hardy, as all the dependencies are taken care of. :)
- OneLess, on 05/06/2008, -0/+10Wind!
- Dalrek, on 05/06/2008, -2/+12Dual-boot for just a music player?
- SickTear, on 05/06/2008, -0/+9Water!
- bagboyrebel, on 05/06/2008, -0/+9Heart!
- shaherazad, on 05/06/2008, -2/+11Grow a pair!
- OneLess, on 05/06/2008, -0/+9Caaaaaptaaain Plaaanet!
- sloppychris, on 05/06/2008, -2/+10Thanks! In case my above comment was misconstrued, I didn't mean to be derogatory towards KDE if that's how it came across. Replace my use of the word "crap" with "dependencies" if necessary.
- sloppychris, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8I hope Amarok isn't ported until it's stable enough to symbolize the power of linux and open source to windows folk, similar to firefox.
- Tenoq, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8By your powers combined...
- dualscreenman, on 05/06/2008, -1/+8Ok, cool. :) Great job, you guys.
I can see what you meant looking back on it now... - beowulflee, on 05/06/2008, -0/+7Nostalgic logo... I found that same blue wolf thing around six or seven years ago on some site that featured it as winning some icon contest for when I first started using AIM. I still have the original files.

- dualscreenman, on 05/06/2008, -1/+8We were both correct, we just misunderstood each other.
- bratterscain, on 05/06/2008, -1/+7God damn it. Why digg him down people? Geez, nobody's going to want to use Linux if you take one misconstrued word that seems the least bit anti-linux and bury them for it. For *****'s sake.
- moolcool, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6wasn't amarok2 supposed to have windows version?
- nhnFreespirit, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6Ah come on, have a heart! :-)
Amarok 2 does run on OS X, we just have not gotten around to actually building distributable binaries for it yet... - Culyt, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6There is a Windows version, but no one is making binaries yet.
- ileftfark, on 05/06/2008, -2/+7If you're willing to download AndLinux, you can do it: http://url.ie/d4o
But why not at least dual-boot? - diggerpleez, on 05/06/2008, -0/+561% [1 amarok-nightly-qt 89232393/93.1MB 96%] 343kB/s 33s
come on baby! - ninja0, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5What if I don't use *buntu? I use gentoo, gimme the source please.
- tripzero, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5O_o ...
- Jaymoon, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5"To install it on Kubuntu Hardy add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu hardy main
check for updates, install amarok-nightly and enjoy."
...using the apt-get method installs everything you need... - jasutton, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4If anyone is having problems running this on KDE 3 and Kubuntu, you'll need to install "dbus-x11" and then launch the program by running "dbus-launch amarok-nightly"
Even though the app launches and plays music, it's nothing much to look at. It's missing icons and the prefs dialog is completely messed up. It fairs slightly better in KDE4, however. - xptweakerntn, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4So does anyone know when this is being planned on to be released?
- sloppychris, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4Thanks for the defense, but I understand why people might get the wrong idea just reading my first comment. And don't worry, I've been using and proselytizing linux for more than a year now.
- hellotyler, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4Why not just use the original Amarok ? It kicks ass.
- AnimobileAWS, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4so which package should those of us on Ubuntu Hardy get?
- hyperair, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4I believe the sources are available at the launchpad.net ppa page: http://edge.launchpad.net/~project-neon/+archive
- Culyt, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4The brackets around the K in the description indicate its optional allowing for both KUbuntu and Ubuntu as options.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3There is a KDE4 port for Windows already, which includes amarok.
The binaries are not up to date right now though. - inactive, on 05/06/2008, -2/+5That's true, but it says a bad thing about Ubuntu Linux users. I hope they get more experience with Linux to learn how to do this after a while of using it - It's so well integrated with Linux you'd think it would be in the path of learning Linux, logically.
- Ricapar, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3Anyone have any screenshots?
- Vigacmoe, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3I am desperately looking for linux alternatives for foobar2000, Amarok2 is not an option because it's way too heavy, there are so many useless features (for me). Programs like Rhythmbox/Banshee have the same problem. Any suggestions?
- SteveMax, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3Use checkinstall instead of make install. That will create a .deb (or .rpm, or .tgz, or whatever your distro uses) file for you; you will be able to uninstall it through your package manager.
- Culyt, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3I had a go at getting Amarok2 running, the Amarok2/KDE4 build system was a mess and has its own way of doing things, you manually needed to setup the build enviroment and modify it to add amarok2 and some developer libs that weren't in kde4 core. I'm used to compiling stuff from source but couldn't figure it out. On top of that until the recent KDE4 release you would also need to compile that from source since there wasn't much in the way of packages that also included the dev libs.
For simply testing development builds you shouldn't need to learn a whole new build system and dependency information.
☢ - zwaldowski, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Amarok2 final (and at least alpha and beta) should be available on Windows. If you're feeling adventurous, you might want to try the KDE-Windows installer.
- zwaldowski, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2These are nightly builds specifically for Hardy.
- wolf08, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Yeah, I feel like an idiot. Is there any way to correct it? I guess not. I've been tamed by the automatic spellcheck in firefox, but it doesn't work on single-line entries by default.
- wolf08, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2There are some good ones on the Amarok blog (Sorry I don't have a link atm) from a few weeks ago. The look hasn't changed too much in that time frame. I've been playing around with the builds since early December, and things are looking much better now than back then. I'm quite excited for the final build (hopefully sometime later this year).
And, did I mention that I'm using it as a full time audio player? (for 2 weeks now) - maninalift, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Thanks. I didn't think I'd get such a pleasing answer.
- mccord, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2check out gmusicbrowser: http://squentin.free.fr/gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowse ...
