I am very much disappointed by the decision re: amarok1.4 and Amarok 2.
There is one really glaring issue that I find amazing. The lack of a
resonable media device manager with out Amarok1.4.
It seems to be the flavour of the month and a very Microsoft attitude to
release incomplete software in
I'd like to add my voice to the disappointment over the Amarok changes - 1.4
was my favourite player, by a long shot - I have a large music collection and
the tree view (with genre-artist-album sorting) made things very easy -
Rhythmbox, Banshee, etc are very awkward by comparison. I use Gnome
Hi!
I have been using linux distributions from a 1 year, and to me how
doesn't know much about linux programs, I'am just a simple user I was
very fond of Amarok 1.x version. It was my favorite music player and it
was very sophisticated in many ways.
After reading the discussions above I
I would also like to add my vote to having amarok1.4 in Jaunty.
Not only is 1.4 the best music player I have EVER used and the fact that
2.0 is missing MANY features, I can't even get it to play an mp3 file.
I installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package but amarok still
crashes when trying to
This is quite impossible, which is why this bug is marked as Won't Fix.
Amarok 1.x itself has been officially marked as unmaintained by the Amarok
developers, and according to policy we cannot adding new packages of
unmaintained software. Amarok 1.x in a KDE4-only environment such as Kubuntu
@Harald Sitter
The point in discussing this is that amarok 1.4 is one of the most
popular music players in linux and amarok 2 is not an acceptable
replacement for lots (maybe most) amarok users.

Hi AlterEgo,
It would be nice to do that, but I doubt I'll find the time to do it
soon. I'm considering a few other bugs too (the Wikipedia display
hasn't been working for a while, and I'd like to use the new
notification system for the OSD), but I'll be quite busy with work for
the next month at
Hi Bogdan Butnaru ,
I really appreciate your Amarok 1.4 packages. Are you considering updating
those packages according to:
[USN-739-1] Amarok vulnerabilities?
Many thanks!

I also wish for a simple way to install Amarok 1.4.
Last I looked at it (version 2.0.1 with Alpha-5), the pod-caching
support in Amarok 2 was significantly inferior to that in version 1.4
(No obvious way to organize podcasts in folders, or to drag and drop an
episode to a filesystem's folder.)
Thanks Bogdan.
What I did is restore Ubuntu 8.10 from my backup with SystemRescueCD/partimage
and I am again with Amarok 1.4 and Ubuntu 8.10
The thing in Amarok 2 I more dislike is the new thing in the middle to show
pictures and so. You can't get rid of it (I couldn't do) and it is annoying. If
Bao2 (and others interested): There is now a build of Amarok 1.4
(derived from the last version that was in Jaunty) in my PPA:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~bogdanb/+archive/ppa
These have received _really_ minimal testing, so read the warnings
first, but they should work. The binary packages are
Hey, I love you decided only ship Jaunty with Amarok 2.
Really... a good idea.
Well, someone knows how can I install Amarok 1.4 (the newer one is just
a sh--t)

Bao2, you can go to
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+package/amarok and
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+package/amarok-common and
download the last 1.4 package for your architecture. Then you have to
remove amarok in aptitude, install the downloaded deb files manually (I
think I
Actually, I'm not so sure about the part with gdebi --apt-line”. I
don't remember exactly how I installed the deb files, a double click
might have been enough (but make sure you start with amarok-common and
then install amarok itself).
You can also get the source package for amarok, hack it so
I also vote for keep old version of amarok in jaunty - new version has less
features - for example, less conditions in smart playlists and so on.
New version also doesn't take into account songs ratings from the older version
on upgrade, and requires re-categorization of the all songs once
By the way, I consider loss of ratings as a grave loss-of-user-data bug
(they are manually entered). That is very bad even for an alpha release
(though it's the only data I _do_ have backups for...)
Anyway, isn't it usual policy to enter non-backwards-compatible packages
with a different name? I
We also have a policy about software that is unmaintained upstream. And
Amarok1 is unmaintained upstream.
Anyway, if you get it past the archive admins even with this issue you
can probably maintain an amarok1 package in universe.
Please understand that we don't have the resources to maintain 2
Certainly, I wasn't suggesting we should actually maintain it. But it
should* have been easy to just demote the last version of Amarok 1.4 we
had to universe/multiverse and leave it like that.
(* I have no idea, really.)
Actually, I think even just removing the amarok package completely and
There is no point in discussing this. The replacement already happend
and can't be reversed anyway. Also I don't see a reason why someone
would be willingly exposing themselfs to secruity threats caused by
using unmaintained software.

I can appreciate your wanting to hang on to an older version of Amarok,
but we will be using current releases of Amarok in Jaunty.
Our goal is to have as few KDE 3.5 applications and associated libs as
possible in Jaunty.
