Dear all, now with the imminent release of squeeze, I'd like to know what is a good replacement of lenny's amarok as both an audio player and application to access my ipod.
I've upgraded to squeeze about a month ago, and I can't find the following features in squeeze's amarok (all of which were pleasantly usable in lenny's): - ability to synchronize and manage media files on my ipod classic (a google search tells me I should install amarok-ipod, but there is no amarok-ipod in squeeze). - import my old podcasts. Somehow amarok managed to ignore the existing podcasts in my /home/audio folder. (There is no 'media device' setting in the configuration menue.) - ability to show recently added files and albums - ability to import my 'old' mysql database (amarok 1.4.10-2lenny1) into amarok 2.3.1. (I guess I could do without that in case of a good replacement for amarok). I also find the new user interface quite annoying. It appears more 'clean' than the old one, but lacks many of the features that I found useful. amarok has always been quite a huge monster application, slow to start and rather wasteful on resources. In the past this disadvantage has been compensated by a large feature set. The 'new' amarok on kde4 by comparison, appears to be even slower to start and shows only a fraction of the features compared to lenny. (I guess this is generally the case with many applications for kde4). The most pressing need at the moment is to find a way to download podcasts and synchronize mp3s and podcasts with the ipod. Thanks for any suggestions! Cheers, Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
