Amarok 1.4 was the best audio player ever. My most beloved feature - changing queue position of song in a playlist with mousewheel. Second - could reorganize your files by Artis/Album/Song.mp3.

I remember having my friends over for parties and when they saw Amarok - instantly wanted to try Linux. It was, imo, the killer app of Linux.

When I switched to Windows 7 - tried to customize foobar2000 to make it feel like Amarok, but it wasn't the same. :/

There's also Clementine, which is a QT5 cross-platform clone of Amarok 1.4

Careful when using Clementine. It reorganized all my music collection, and it took me several months to revert all those changes.

It is partly my fault because I wasn't careful what I was doing. But I never thought a media player would do such extensive reorganization on file level.

I've never had that happen and I've been using Clementine ever since Amorak 1.x was discontinued.

Yeah, I used clementine for ages because it would just work unlike say iTunes which did import/copy/rearrange by default

Haha, I guess you've never experienced the misfortune that is iTunes, then.

What does iTunes do?

Not compatible with Apple Music.

That's how everything is with Apple: you use their software and their walled-garden. If you want to do anything at all, big or small, differently than how Apple wants you to do it, then Apple stuff is simply not for you. With Apple, it's all-or-nothing.

So really, if you're an Apple user, you have no business even joining discussions like this about non-Apple software or anything that runs on a non-Apple platform. You're basically trolling.

Well, yeah, nothing is except for Apple software.

I answer why I don't run Amarok on Windows - I get downvoted. Is HN just Slashdot v2.0?
