Amarok 2.4 released

Version 2.4 of the Amarok media player is available. "This release brings significant performance, usability, and stability improvements: Most of the bugs involving the context pane have been squished, a completely rewritten collection scanner is presented (hint: it's the thing that reads your music files' tags) -- Amarok now has the ability to write your statistics and covers directly to the audio files to keep the information across different devices and should detect compilations a lot better. At long last, we also have an option to hide the menu bar again." Also in this release are new device support, transcoding of tracks, and more.

Amarok 2.4 released

Hmm. Would be so cool to have a nice standardized "music library" lib that did all of this correctly and flexible and fast. So that we could benefit from the nice changes here in Amarok, without actually using the Amarok interface.

We have the prower with free software to make libraries like this, and collaborate on the stuff that everyone wants.
