Amarok 2.3.0 “Clear Light” released

“Team Amarok is proud to announce Amarok 2.3.0. It contains many
improvements and bugfixes over Amarok 2.2.2 as well as many new
features. Areas such as podcast support and saved playlists have
seen huge improvements, as has the support for USB mass storage
devices (including generic MP3 players).

“With large parts of Amarok 2 becoming quite mature, it was also
time to start looking forward again. Therefore, this release also
contains a number of new features of a slightly more experimental
nature. These include a new main toolbar and a rewritten and much
simpler file browser. These parts are brand new and based on user
feedback, and they will change and improve over the next few
releases. The old slim toolbar is still available should you prefer
that, but we encourage you to try out the new toolbar and tell us
what you think. The file browser’s look and feel now aligns more
closely with the rest of Amarok with improvements such as
breadcrumb navigation, and it is now focused on being a way to find
and play music instead of being a multi-purpose file manager.”
