"Amarok 2 not only delivers a software update, but does so with a fresh start. The developers announced that the reason they made this move was that it was becoming harder to work within an existing framework where Amarok was moving in unanticipated directions.

"The playlist software uses the newest KDE4 components Solid, Phonon and Plasma. The scripting API and plug-in support were also improved. Better integration with Web services include connections to such services as GetHotNewStuff and Kde-apps.org."
