<pre wrap="">Hi everybody!
As a long time user of Amarok i've been watching the development
progress of Amarok 2 with alot of interest. As the (first?) beta was
released last week i decided to give it a go this weekend. I was
positively surprised by the current state of the program. Almost
everything worked out of the box without the necessity of interference
from my side. For example last.fm-submission of my tracks worked as soon
as i entered correct username and password), scanning of my music
collection was quite fast and as far as i could see all my music files
are there... Only thing i couldn't get to work was QtScript (neither the
console nor the test script worked). When i start e.g. the
Script-console i get this:

Try using the latest SVN. The script bindings are now always generated.

I thought i'd let you know that using the latest svn-version did the
trick. I'm now able to use qtscript-plugins (i actually started to port
my plugin to qtscript, it's a bit tricky without real documentation but
well as i guess it will take a while till amarok 2 is released i won't
start to stress myself and you of course ;) ). After a few days of
using i remarked a few issues tho (probably you are already working on
these but i thought i'd mention them):<br>
<br>
* Cover fetching seems to be broken. Sometimes it works but most of the
time it doesn't. From what i could gather from console output you are
still using amazon to fetch covers. I think i read that you planned to
use lastfm's web-services for cover-fetching, maybe this would be a
better solution for cover fetching. <br>
* Manually setting the cover using the context menu doesn't seem to
work neither (im talking about the Fetch cover entry, the Set custom
cover menu-entry is working as expected on the other hand). Most of the
time the ui for selecting the cover just refuses to show up.<br>
* Similar artists are a thing that i am REALLY missing! That was one of
the premier features for me in Amarok 1.4. Are there plans to readd
this to amarok 2? (i was actually astomished that this thing was
missing as you there is a checkbox for this feature in the
lastfm-settings). Plus as i need this for my plugin: Will there be a
way to query this data using the plugins-api?<br>
* Another annoying thing is that the stop-after-current-track-feature
is not working. But as there is a qtscript-function for that already i
guess you'll add this feature to amarok 2 in the future right?<br>
<br>
Beside the above mentioned things, amarok 2 is by far further in it's
development than i thought. I haven't experienced any crashes yet and
everything seems to run smoothly.<br>
<br>
Once again: I'm really impressed by the current state of amarok 2!! So
keep up the good work,<br>
<br>
