Amarok Website

From Amarok Wiki

This is a list of features that are missing in Amarok 2, compared to Amarok 1.4.10.

This list is here for users to check if an -for them- essential feature (like support for a specific media device) is already ported, so they can start upgrading.

Contents 1 Context 2 Collection 3 Media devices 4 Playlist 5 Other 6 Tools

Context

• Wikipedia lookup limited to artist only.

Collection

• Grouping options are limited.
• Can't separate collection into groups by first letter.
• Filtering depending on the time you added a song to the collection. Back in 2.1
• No support for PostgreSQL or Sqlite. Will not come back, we use MySQL (Embedded) exclusively now. Support for MySQL daemons will come in a later release likely. External MySQL server support is available in 2.2.

Media devices

• Some media devices are not yet supported:
  • USB Mass storage: only via file browser

Playlist

• Queuing in the playlist Back in 2.0.1
• Stop after track Back in 2.0.1
• Filtering Back in 2.0.1
• Sorting based on different parameters. We have a plan for a new UI to do this, it will be implemented in a future Amarok release.
• "Classical", table like playlist view Back in 2.1
• Organising tracks from within playlist. i.e. no "move to collection" option.

Other

• The File Browser is missing context actions
• Drag and Drop is not yet implemented in may places: Context (Album Applet), between different browsers (Collection/File -> Playlist), etc
• Support for labels
• Audio CD playback
• Crossfading
• Dynamic collection Back in 2.1
• Labels
• DAAP server support
• Last.fm recommendations and dynamic playlists based on that
