Amarok in 2010 (solved sort of)

[The Chief]

OK I am trying to keep an open mind with this version.  But it is hard.  In 2009 I could listen to many many internet radio stations.  But in 2010 I need the station's URL.  Why did that change??  Now I can not find a way to shuffle the songs in a playlist.  Anyone know how?  Anyone know of a better program to do the above two things??  Thanks for your relies.

There is always Clementine, which is basically Amarok 1.4 ported to Qt4.

Get it here....  http://www.ohloh.net/p/clementine-player

Late, I know, but I just stumbled across this.

What a MESS!!!!!  Sound speaker button gone from the panel by the clock.  Nothing will play in amaork.  Imean nothing.  No cd, no music stored on the computer, sound is muted and can not unmute.  Tried to uninstall using synaptic and reinstall, didn't help.  About ready to get the sledgehammer.

amarok is a mess ! what were the developers thinking?

I believe Clementine is now in the repo's

Why don't you try exaile. It's more like amaroc used to be.  Personally, I like the way amaroc is now, but that's because I finally got used to it.

Hey muungwana!  It is a widget called "system tray"

Grandpa - as you've just discovered the System Tray widget shows various apps which are running - Net Applet / Clipper / etc and KMix for sound settings.

If your KMix icon disappears again you may want to try clicking on the KMenu >> Sound > KMix and that should then drop it back in the System Tray again.

Also, by right clicking the System Tray there is an option System Tray Settings which allows you to enable/disable various items.
