aerogate Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hi there, Mandriva 2009.1 comes with Amarok 2, it`s still a beta and is missing functions I need, can anyone advice how to downgrade to Amarok 1.4 plz? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 You will need kdelibs3 and qt3 (both should be available), plus downgrading a couple of libraries. The latter could be a serious issue. My recommendation: 1. Use another music manager. Songbird is very buggy and eating too much RAM, Banshee is even buggier and very sluggish (typically for a Mono app), but Quodlibet, Exaile and Rhythmbox ain't bad at all. Even better is the new (0.6.X series) Listen, which is GTK, but with rather few GNOME dependencies. And finally, the best music manager for windoze ( Foobar2000 ) works very, very well under WINE. 2. Use Amarok 2, and wait for improvements. Already Amarok 2.1 is more than usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerogate Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks Scarecrow, with your help I came to the choice of waiting for Amarok 2 to develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerogate Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Yeah so following the development of Amarok will be interesting, and they have a nice forum. Added repo main/testing as it carries latest version of Amarok, so easy too. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Finally it's in a usable state again. 2.1.1 is a pleasure to use. I still miss some of the functions in the 1.x series though :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
