Enihu, it perfectly integrates wiki and lyrics,has nice support for playlists and collections (my whole music coll. is scatered across network so this is a big thing for me). Cover manager is worth mentioning (ussualy finds every single cover if tags are ok)....last.fm offcourse :) Bad is collection update or rescan as mentioned before...takes soooooo long. And eq is quite uselles in comparison to foobar's for instance. Another enihu, try it...it's very good ap. It pushed out my WINE+Foobar after just few days of use:) salut Well, only 2 things that I miss since transfer from Win to Lin are XMplay (numero 1 lightweight player) and Foobar2000 (numero 1 player for people that have large collections) and Amarok does pretty good job for replacing the second one (still no player like XMplay:).

I'd prefer to wait until it's more stable. I don’t think I’m installing Amarok as of now. I’d prefer to wait until it’s more stable.

Anyways im glad to see them port it over sorta. I kinda have mixed feelings about it. Since i use *nix @ work and home i feel its a slight rip. But looks like Windows users will get some quality software. @darkkosmos

It's so easy to use, and does exactly what I need it to. The worst thing about Amarok, in my opinion, is that I can't get it to work with my Sansa Rhapsody, and that the tags that it generates never transfer anywhere else. Also, updating the collection takes FOREVER even if I only added one new song. That's annoying. Awesome app though. If I were still using Windows, I'd definitely get it.

My favorite features are the last.fm integration (something that I didn't think I'd like before I tried it) and the library organization. Rather than install KDE on Windows, which is very unpolished at the moment, I suggest that you download a Kubuntu LiveCD and run it from the optical drive or wubi. Note that it will be much slower than a real Linux installation, but it will give you a taste of what you're missing. Hint: unless you are married to some obscure Window-only application, then you are missing a lot! Amarok is the application that got me hooked on KDE.

Our goal is to be a smaller download than iTunes and that shouldn't be too hard. Amarok 2.0 Tech Preview was only intended for folks interested in contributing to Amarok. If you're not, then don't bother. It's old at this point anyways. We won’t release Amarok final on Windows until it’s easier to install, no worries.
