Equaliser support is available for the xine and gstreamer engines currently in cvs! They are great. We probably won't be making one for the arts engine as we don't have a maintainer for it...

Have YOU tried amaroK yet?!

Hi Seb,

I just learnt you're one of the amarok developers. Have YOU tried prokyon3 yet? ;-)

Did you know that the next release of prokyon3 will support amarok as player out-of-the box (a beta version will come out soon)?

oh great - thanks for that

Hey guys,

Do you know where I can find a stable debian package release of amaroK? Been searchin for a while but haven't come up with anything, and I'd really like to give this a try since I really don't like xmms...

Thanks!

Depends on how you define stable.

- Debian as in "Debian stable" a.k.a. Woody? Then I don't know.

- Stable as in "stable enough to be useful"? Then you might try the packages at kalyxo.org:

deb http://archive.kalyxo.org/kalyxo/ staging main
deb http://archive.kalyxo.org/kalyxo/ experimental main

or

deb ftp://archive.kalyxo.org/kalyxo/ staging main
deb ftp://archive.kalyxo.org/kalyxo/ experimental main

That's what I'm using (on a Debian testing system with KDE from unstable):

[code:1]# COLUMNS=120 dpkg -l | grep amarok
ii amarok 1.2-beta2+cvs20041213-2 versatile and easy to use audio player for KDE
ii amarok-gstreamer 1.2-beta2+cvs20041213-2 GStreamer engine for the amaroK audio player
ii amarok-xine 1.2-beta2+cvs20041213-2 xine engine for the amaroK audio player[/code:1]

Ok I've got those, but they will not install because my kdelibs4 and misc other libraries are not the latest version....and I can't find a place to download the packages for these....are they even available as packages..or?

Thanks!

Yes, they are available as packages, but you haven't stated what version of Debian you're running.

If it is Debian stable then you would have to update quite a few packages to versions not belonging to the "Debian stable" distro. You'll have to decide if you're willing to run such a mixed system. It may lead to problems...

Myself, I'm running Debian testing with KDE packages from unstable and some from the kalyxo project. I'm not very experienced with Debian but it worked out ok so far.

To get to those packages add lines like these to your sources.list:

Testing:
deb http://your_mirror_host/pub/debian testing main contrib non-free

Unstable:
deb http://your_mirror_host/pub/debian unstable main contrib non-free

It could very well be that the amarok package depends on the KDE version from Debian unstable but I'm not sure.


BTW: kdelibs4 does not mean "the KDE libs that belong to KDE 4". Those do not even exists yet, not even in KDE CVS.

Hi Seb,

Seb, are you or any of your fellow developers aware of a situation where Amarok starts eating up resources at a phenominal rate to the point where the PC freezes.

I'm using 1.2beta but have experienced this with previous versions also.

I have Suse 9.1 Pro, AMD 64 3000+, 512mb PC400. I was using away at the player on Tuesday for hours streaming and playing HDD tracks when all of a sudden it quit. When I tried to restart it, the resource problem started.

Any ideas ??

Currently I am overseas, and thus am not working on the project for a little while, however i have heard about similar problems - so have the other developers.
