Good news, generic USB support is coming back in latest Amarok 2 svn: http://awainzin-foss.blogspot.com/2009/08/amarok-2-universal-mass-storage-d= evice.html > They put so much new stuff in there, why not a import function for the > old amarok 1.4 database? I mean one that works and not only imports 10 > or so records. They've allegedly fixed it in the current releases but I haven't tried it. I never used any Amarok-metadata so when I went to 2.x I just started fresh and had it scan my files again. There was supposedly a workaround for the upgrade bug, if you let Amarok 2 build your collection like new and THEN import, it would work properly. But importing into a blank collection would only do a few records and stop. The biggest thing that annoyed me in Amarok 2 was the handling of "Various Artists", which has been fixed, so I'm okay now. Latest SVN versions let you edit metadata in the playlist view also, which many people missed from 1.x series. Handling of online streams is much better and more diverse in Amarok 2, so there is at least one thing it does better than 1.x. :) > What I miss in kde 4.x so far is the run command kicker applet that I > had in kde3 as my main way of starting apps.

Maybe something like this: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=3D91495 > Oh and I miss the weather applet, and the kworldclock background image > and=85 and=85 and=85 I miss the old weather applet, too.
