I'd forgotten about amarok, as I got disgusted=20 with it awhile back, when they basically decided their amd64 users didn't= =20 matter (the embedded mysql lib they were using was broken on amd64, and i= t=20 wasn't exactly an unknown break, either, they simply didn't care about=20 such users enough to stop them from making it mandatory), and switched to= =20 something (mpd, with several front-ends, still less bloated than amarok)=20 far less bloated and more in tune with my needs anyway. Of course, it=20 didn't help that they'd dumped most of the features I found likable in th= e=20 kde3 version, only to add more bloat I found nothing but useless to the=20 kde4 version, either, but it was the utter unconcern about their kde4 amd= 64=20 users, when kde3 was already no longer supported by kde itself (and was o= n=20 its way out for Gentoo) that was the last straw for me. But yes, amarok requires mysql too, unfortunately. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
