Parent article: Amarok weathers its own storm of reactions

Editorial comment: For those of us who are not users of this program, one had to basically guess based on context what it does -- the first four paragraphs provided no hint. It does reduce the interest somewhat in an article when the purpose of the program in question is unknown. A single sentence would be sufficient.

Google for 'Amarok', the first to fourth hits are all relevant, the eighth
references it, and the ninth lets you buy the Oldfield work it was named
after. :)

Hmm...the second sentence of the article describes Amarok as a "popular media player." So it's not true that it's completely undefined.

That said, it's always good to ensure that there's enough context; please accept our apologies if we fell a little short this time around.
