Amarok 2.5 “Earth Moving” released

Up North, frost sparkles in the morning sunshine, while the Southern climes head into spring. All over the world, the Amarok team proudly presents Amarok 2.5, the most advanced release yet.

Some of the features we are happy about:

• GPodder.net podcast synchronization.
• Rewritten USB Mass Storage support.
• Many bug fixes to the iPod plugin, thanks to Matej Laitl.
• An integrated Amazon MP3 store. This major feature is the work of our web-entrepreneurs Sven and Justus.

We have simplified the version scheme to 2 numbers again to reflect our development process. 2.5 is a big feature release and has many bug fixes. The next planned version will be 2.6, with new features.

As promised, we’ve started a new year of donation mentions with the generous donors of the past Rocktober funding drive. Thank you all for contributing to Amarok, we hope you are pleased with this release.
