Feature changed by: Graham Anderson (andtecheu) Feature #312784, revision 15 Title: Replace Amarok with Clementine openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Roger Luedecke (shadowolf7) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Clementine is a Qt-only music player based of the old Amarok 1.4. Clementine boasts a more traditional interface. It also includes a robust visualizer implementation for those of us who enjoy them. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Amarok is difficult for new users coming from Windows of Gnome. Also, no other player has robust visualization like Clementine. Discussion: #1: Markus K (kamikazow) (2011-09-06 20:53:33) Clementine is no KDE application and there has -- so far -- never been Amarok 3.x. #2: Kim Leyendecker (openlhag) (2011-09-07 19:46:07) (reply to #1) With Amarok 3.x was the old Amarok under KDE 3.x meant. #3: Roger Luedecke (shadowolf7) (2011-09-07 20:17:30) (reply to #2) Yes, thank you Kim. #4: peter nikolic (petenjr) (2011-09-07 21:35:50) Yes please the sooner we can get shut of Amarok the better #5: Don Vosburg (dvosburg) (2011-09-07 21:38:50) (reply to #4) I agree. Amarok has become unwieldy and unstable since 2.0. #6: Steven Sroka (lin-unix) (2011-09-07 21:53:40) Clementine is soo much more user friendly. +1 for Clementine as default music player. #7: Christoph Obexer (cobexer) (2011-09-07 23:02:44) Integration with the plasmoids that show the current track and album cover would be nice for clementine! + #8: Graham Anderson (andtecheu) (2011-09-08 09:58:15) + No thanks, Amarok2 is awesome, has worked very well for a long time and + has *really* nice integration with Wikipedia, something that Clementine + lacks. + Additionally, "Clemetine is easier, Amarok is hard" is purely anecdotal + and/or subjective. In my opinion, all music players are easy to + configure, Amarok included. If users find any music player hard to + configure, perhaps they should be looking to purchase "computers for + dummies" or something in that line of books. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312784
