The first beta of amarok 1.4.2 was out for about 2 weeks and today I backported it to Mandriva 2006. This new version is the first to include the Advanced Tag Features (ATF) system which is perfect for people with big and constantly evolving music collection.
Here are the RPMs, and here the explanation to use them.
If you have some issue with this release, take a look at comments of previous versions and my “You installed Amarok from my RPMs and can’t play some files ? Here is the fix…” post.
I just installed 1.4.2 beta 1 and it’s crashing just after the splash screen, bringing up the standard KDE something crashed e-mail thingy.
