thanks markey for the info. I went through the menus 2 times but somehow missed it both times. Anyways I love the new set. Good job developers! I can't wait to see what crazy stuff they will have for version 2!

It has to be compiled with it, though I don't believe there's a specific option. (It's just built with it if you have the correct libraries; I remember having to deal with that when 1.3.8 wouldn't add AAC files to my library.).

Does it support last.fm and keyboard media control options?

I have been using the last beta for a week or so. amaroK is by far the best media player I have used, smooth and easy to navigate. All of thse support services like wiki, lyrics, tagging etc are excellent. When this is ported to Windows for version 2.0, I really believe this will be one of those apps like firefox that will make the transition easier to linux. It's great being able to catalogue my old wma collection now too. amaroK ftw.

The ebuild for amaroK 1.4.0 is in Portage already - it went in before it was officially released, actually...

I've only started using Linux and LOVE this player. Now i have to figure out how to install the latest one :D

the most intuitive way is to go to adept, add the package location as it's listed. i.e. deb <a class="user" href="http://kubuntu.org/amarok-14/">http://kubuntu.org/amarok-14/</a> dapper mainThen click "Fetch Updates", and amarok should show up as upgradable.
