KDE's Amarok 3.0 Music Player Released After Six Year Hiatus - Now Ported To Qt5


Released back in March of 2018 was the Amarok 2.9 music player for this KDE project

But the Amarok developers hope to begin porting to Qt6 and KF6 in the coming months with potentially having that more incremental update ready still this calendar year in beta form. It might well be that getting them in better state wouldn't require huge effort, however, so if you know your way with Qt and KDE Frameworks and your favourite Internet music service does not work with Amarok 3.0, you are extremely welcome to join in and help! Here's to hoping the Qt6 and KF6 port will go along smoother and more quickly than this much belated release.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
