Amarok 2.4 "Slipstream" publicado

Ha sido un final de año muy ocupado para los desarrolladores de Amarok, mientras las estaciones traen los fríos vientos de invierno para unos y el ardiente sol del verano para otros. La mayoría de las grandes ramas de desarrollo han sido integradas, y muchas características nuevas han sido implementadas. Una versión principal es siempre un gran paso adelante y por tanto presentamos con orgullo la versión de Amarok 2.4, nombre en clave: Slipstream.

Esta versión trae consigo una mejora significativa de rendimiento, usabilidad y estabilidad: la mayoría de los fallos relacionados con el panel contextual han sido corregidos, se presenta un escáner para la colección completamente reescrito (es lo que lee las etiquetas de tus archivos de música) -- Amarok ahora tiene la capacidad de escribir tus estadísticas y carátulas directamente a los archivos de audio para conservar la información entre distintos dispositivos y debería detectar las compilaciones mucho mejor. Por fin, volvemos a tener la opción de ocultar la barra de menús.
En lo que se refiere a etiquetas, hay una nueva característica que funciona junto al nuevo escáner de la colección: integración con la biblioteca de música MusicBrainz para actualizar tus canciones con información exacta. Tener una colección organizada es más fácil que nunca ahora que puedes seleccionar lo que quieres que sea etiquetado y hacerlo con solo dos clics. Desafortunadamente hemos tenido que eliminar otra vez la colección Playdar que añadimos en la beta 1. Esperamos poder traerla de vuelta tan pronto como hagamos unos cuantos cambios en ella.

Otras características notables que han sido incorporadas en esta versión son:

  • Capacidad de usar iPod Touch 3G y posiblemente dispositivos más recientes.
  • Transcodificación: ahora Amarok te permite convertir canciones desde un formato de archivo a otro a la hora de copiarlos desde el navegador de archivos a la colección local. Expandiremos esta función a los dispositivos extraíbles en futuras versiones.
  • Un nuevo applet que busca información sobre tablaturas de guitarras y bajos para todas tus necesidades en los instrumentos de cuerda.
  • Exportación OPML para suscripciones de Podcasts.
  • Una vista de mapa y calendario para el applet próximos eventos
  • Compatibilidad con colecciones UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), ahora puedes escuchar música desde servidores UPnP en una red local.

Además hay otras muchas características, mejoras e innumerables fallos solucionados. Como siempre, es bueno echar un vistazo a la lista de cambios completa desde Amarok 2.3.2 que se encuentra más abajo para asegurarte de no perderte nada de interés.
