Re: Amarok issues

Try Juk it is amarok 1.4 reborn. Manages collection and plays music the same as amarok 1.4.

Re: Amarok issues

Amarok 1.4 was the last. Everything since then is flakey. Regardless of repos, Amarok might play some things and not others. Forget streaming audio. I know, I know, some users claim great luck from Amarok. The simple fact that too many others have no joy is enough to delare it unstable and unworthy.

juk is certainly not like amarok 1.4, especially not for handling collections on external drives, etc. It is nice for what it is though, a lightweight music manager.

Re: Amarok issues

MONO is 'tied' to Microsoft 'as I understand it.' Do a search here in KFN (Search > Advanced search) and search on the single word MONO (search for and GreyGeek (by user and most relevant results first (Search order and you will discover everything you ever wanted to know about the subject.

More likely you'll discover a lot of FUD. There's an awful amount of ignorant crap spouted of about mono. Its an excellent *unencumbered* development environment.
