Comment 19 for bug 316889

I'd like to add my voice to the disappointment over the Amarok changes - 1.4 was my favourite player, by a long shot - I have a large music collection and the tree view (with genre-artist-album sorting) made things very easy - Rhythmbox, Banshee, etc are very awkward by comparison. I use Gnome so the KDE plasmoid business means nothing to me - the new interface looks ugly in my opinion. The death knell though has to be the fact that I can't use Amarok 2 to transfer music to my mp3 player (iPod is too rich for my blood, I got a Philips gogear for $30 but it requires libmtp) and I'm not willing to transfer tracks from the command line using mtp-tools!
Anyway, thanks Bogdan for the 1.4 repos. I was going to make a suggestion that someone (that is, someone with programming skills, i.e. not me) take the old source and make some sort of platform independent version. Then someone pointed out the existence of Exaile, which seems to be a Gnome version of Amarok, so maybe I'll just have to abandon Amarok altogether.
