Why amaroK ‘Roks’

,----[ Quote ]
| Yes, I’m talking about amaroK, the free, open source music player, currently 
| only for Linux and Unix, but soon to be available for Windows and Mac OS X. 
| As the saying goes, there are two kinds of people in the world: those who use 
| amaroK, and those who don’t. amaroK is the ultimate music management 
| software, and for a casual music buff like me, it’s the best you can get out  
| there. What separates amaroK from the other popular players in the market are 
| its features which are targeted to make music management and playback easy, 
| and a pleasing experience. Here, I’ve highlighted some of the key features of 
| amaroK.

Very pretty and sophisticated. Worth a glance.

Amarok2 as a technology platform, and beyond Amarok 2.0

,----[ Quote ]
| This discussion has been raging in KDE4 land for a while, and the point that 
| is often brought up is that KDE 4.0 is not all of KDE4.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| The same logic can be applied to Amarok. Amarok 2.0 will be a great release, 
| built on top of some very interesting new technologies, but the full 
| potential of these will not show through in the first release.

Review: Amarok Live CD 1.3

,----[ Quote ]
| Amarok is a fairly new, but well known music management and playback program 
| designed to help you organize and listen to all of your music in a simple, 
| yet powerful interface full of nearly every tool you will need.  But few 
| people outside of the Linux community know of this program.  It's very likely 
| that if you're a fan of Amarok, you've wanted many times to show your friends  
| and colleagues the benefits and joys of this impressive and wonderful 
| program.  Well, now you can.  Thus I introduce you to the Amarok Live CD.

Playing with the Playlist

| There are many things that do not work really well yet, such as correctly 
| updating groups when items are moved or deleted, but I will work on that.

Get your groove on with Amarok

| So, you got the new iPod that you wanted for Christmas, but you're
| no fan of iTunes. No problem -- you can cast off your iTunes chains
| and manage your music entirely with Linux using Amarok. Amarok
| gives you everything you need to manage your music, from playing
| to burning music CDs to managing your portable music player.

Linux Audio Players, Tested and Graded
