14-September-2008 18:02:38 - Amarok software Redirected from Amarok audio This article is about the music player software. For other uses, see Amarok. Amarok A screenshot of Amarok, showing the playlist browser, the OSD and the optional player window. Developed by The Amarok Team Initial release 2003-06-231 Stable release 1.4.10 August 13, 2008 2008-08-13; 31 days ago +/- Preview release 1.90 Beta 1 codename Nerrivik August 22, 2008 2008-08-22; 22 days ago +/- Written in C++ Qt OS Unix-like Available in Multilanguage Type Audio player License GNU General Public License Website amarok.kde.org Amarok pronounced /ˈæməɹɒk/2 is a free software music player for Linux or other varieties of Unix. It makes use of core components from the K Desktop Environment, but is released independently of the central KDE release cycle. Despite the fact that Amarok uses wolf-based artwork, and that the name amarok or amaroq literally refers to the Inuktitut word for wolf, it was originally named after the album Amarok by Mike Oldfield. The 1.2 release originally had a wolf icon, but this was later withdrawn due to similarity with the logo of WaRP Graphics Inc. Amarok's wolf logo has now been modified sufficiently so as not to infringe on WaRP's trademarked logo, and reinstated. Originally named amaroK, it was renamed to Amarok in June 2006. Contents 1 History 2 Development goals 3 Features 3.1 Basic uses and functions 3.2 More technical features 4 Amarok 2.0 5 Release History 6 See also 7 References 8 External links History The project was originally started by Mark Kretschmann as a means of bettering XMMS due to several usability problems, which interfered with the addition of new files to the playlist due to several user interface elements existing for one task. The original amaroK was created based upon the idea of a two-pane interface seen in Midnight Commander, and the first version of the software released solely by Kretschmann, was based upon the ideal of allowing users to drag-and-drop music into an interface in which the playlist was displayed on the right and information on the left. After the initial release of amaroK, several developers joined the project to form the Three M's the first of whom was Max Howell, who acted as an interface designer and programmer for the project, alongside Muesli Christian Muehlhaeuser, who also provided user interface insight and programming till the late 1.4 versions. Development goals Amarok's tagline is Rediscover Your Music, and its development is based around this ideology. Amarok's core features such as the unique context browser, integrated lookup and lyrics download help users to find new music, and to learn more about the music they have. Amarok also features integration with last.fm, giving users suggestions about what to listen to next and which artists may fit their mood, as well as with Magnatune integration, allowing no-cost full listening of all the music in their catalog, and DRM-free purchasing. Features Basic uses and functions Amarok serves many functions rather than just playing music files. For example, Amarok can be used to organize a library of music into folders according to genre, artist, and album, can tags attached to most music formats, associate album art, attach lyrics, and automatically score music as it is played. Although a more technical list of features is listed below, here are the primary functions or uses for Amarok: Playing media files in various formats including but not limited to depending on the setup FLAC, Ogg, MP3, AAC, WAV, Windows Media Audio, Apple Lossless, WavPack, TTA and Musepack. Amarok does not play digital music files embedded with DRM. Tagging digital music files currently FLAC, Ogg, WMA, AAC, MP3, and RealMedia. Associating cover art with a particular album, and retrieving the cover art from Amazon Creating and ing playlists, including smart and dynamic playlists. The dynamic playlists can use such information as the score given to a song by an Amarok script, and the playcount which is stored with the song. Synchronizing, retrieving, playing, or uploading music to the following digital music players: iPod, iriver iFP, Creative NOMAD, Creative ZEN, MTP, Rio Karma and USB devices with VFAT generic MP3 players support. Displaying artist information from and retrieving song lyrics.

Podcast From version 1.4.4, Amarok introduced the integration of Magnatune, a non-DRM digital music store, enabling users to purchase music in Ogg, FLAC, WAV and MP3 formats.
