why not just use clementine its written in qt4 and is supposed to be an amarok 1.4 replacement
I’m still just using Amarok14 from the ppa:bogdanb list.
1) Run
add-apt-repository ppa:bogdanb/ppa
2) Open “/etc/apt/sources.list.d/bogdanb-ppa-lucid.list” and change “lucid” to “karmic”
Hopefully amarok2 is getting better. I’m ready to switch soon. About to test it myself actually.
@tal, doesn’t seem to be in the ubuntu repo…
Please, look at the source post, this one is not complete
