amarok.kde.org — The new Amarok 1.4.4 release is the first open source media player to have built-in support for a DRM-free music store: Magnatune guarantees that for every song sold half the revenue actually goes to the artist. The new release also includes a slew of other features, as well as under-the-hood improvements and bugfixes.

one feature under consideration is a plugin system for music stores to ease development of additional ones. this would allow with relative ease the addition of various stores....

I would love to add other music stores to Amarok. Magnatune was just an easy place to start since they already published much of the needed info on their site and proved very cooperative when it came to implementing an interface for purchasing music. Also, I think their philosophy is very compatible with that of the open source comunity.

blackhalobender, we also need a cure for cancer, cheap automotive fuel and easy access to the stars.Asking for difficult things doesn't make them easier to implement.

Who cares about Foobar2K? We're talking about Amarok here.

"That's because as the others said, they only take GOOD music. As for the two "artists" under the hip-hop section - they're probably just there because of Affirmative Action. :)"There is a difference between rap and hip hop. What you hear on the radio is (c)rap. Check out artist like Blackalicious, Little Brother, MF DOOM/Viktor Vaughn, one.be.lo, P.O.S., etc. And that affirmative action comment is foolish.

Windows Port? But making a Windows port will just mean that people won't move to Linux as much. Amarok is a killer app!In all seriousness, there won't be a Windows port until Amarok is ported to KDE4.Amarok is just good enough to get people to make the final switch to Linux. No other music player/organizer even comes close to the functionality/superawesomeness of Amarok!And yes, superawesomeness is now officially a word.
