I would like to present the latest feature available in the development version of amaroK – iRiver ifp support in the media browser (image). Transfer your favourite tracks to your device without the hassle of finding out where they are and how to transfer them! You will need to have an ifp device in Manager mode (not UMS), and you are well on your way to rocking out on the street!
In other news, we have a revamped Tag Dialog, which shows, amongst other things – lyrics (which are editable), as well as support for external sqlite versions higher than 3.2.4.

Please please please implement support for low-end usb-keys players! Altough all the marketing hype around iPod and other “carry all your music collection” players, the vast majority of DAPs are this cheaps, little and so utterly standard mass-storage players! And also please use HAL to detect and support them all…take a look to this blog entry from a Banshee developer (a gnom music player)

Err, sorry for my poor english
Yep, will certainly have support for usb based drives by 1.4!
Great news! seems like time to start syncing to amarok svn once again
Oh my god…just compiled today SVN…I’m really (and when I say really) impressed!! this is going to be the bigger step in all amarok history since conversion from an xmms clone to a collection based music player (I’m following amarok since the very first releases). Kudos to you and all the other devs!
You think that’s hard? Man, I’ve got so much programming I have to get through! Here’s what I have to do get finished by tommorrow:

Link Editor
1) Make a Diagnostics page for each format for testing
- Include reformatted source and format strings (easy) DONE
- Datagrid to test filling in all the question answers DONE
- Show the respective output (hard)
- Indicate which format is being used (easy)
2) Invoke the formulae
- Handling the format order (hard)

Whew. Wish me luck!

To seb: congrats on a kick ass product. I use this daily at work. Any chance there’ll be njb support coming up? (via libnjb etc). I’m currently streaming to amarok via njstream. Only frontend (apart from xine-ui) that can handle streamed wma’s.
To Jeremy: pfft. I’ve got to the end of february to rework the document api framework for qtopia (as in full rewrite).
