What's missing from most players is a user interface that doesn't get in the way of the user. How many buttons do you have to press for simply adding some new tracks to the playlist? Amarok tries to be a little different, providing a simple drag and drop interface that really makes playlist handling easy. FEATURES ========== * Quick and simple drag and drop playlist creation * Music library * Cross platform: Support for Unix, MacOS X and Windows * Plays all audio formats known to man * Cover art download using Last.fm services * Automatic play-statistics generation (iRate style) * Full lyrics download * Learn about your music with integrated Wikipedia * Full Last.fm support * gpodder.net support * Configurable on screen display for track changes * Podcast support * iPod support, as well as other media players * Powerful scripting interface * KDE integration * Integration with multiple web sources including Magnatune, Jamendo, Ampache, MP3tunes, and others. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPENDENCIES ============== +The following list should give you an impression what's required but it might +not be entirely up to date.
