I switched from using Windows to Linux some 15 years ago. Amarok was the single primary reason for this move. I was a student spending most of my day luistening to music and no Windows (nor Linux!) application even came close to offering the features that Amarok had. 15 years later I am still relying on Amarok on a daily basis, even though many of the features it offered in the past no longer work due to bitrot (e.g. fetching album covers from Amazon or lyrics from various sites). Saying that it would be sad to see it go would be a huge understatement.

Dears,
Reading old mails today!
Just to add that I am also using Amarok 1.4.x since 2006 maybe.
I never found a better replacement, including Amarok 2.x. Actually, I am using TDE repos mainly for Amarok as well as for a few programs I felt in love with (kpdf, kuickshow, ksnapshot, konqueror, kolourpaint, kcolorchooser).
I really hope Amarok will not be dropped from TDE in the 20+ forthcoming years! (At that point, I might get retired, still listening to music a lot, and then consider to contribute to maintain it!)
