[Feedback] Where can one get help with Amarok if one DO NOT use KDE ?

Fri Nov 2 17:02:17 UTC 2007

Stupid me...

I plainly forgot where I threw this rant that I cant get Amarok to do what I want. So you get a mail directly for mailing my hotmail account.

I can get it ti do what I need, or should know how to get there, thanks to the kind mails from all of you.

Thanks a bundle!

Amarok IS really nice, I just wish they/you had put some generic helpsystem/file with the application, or simply made it extremely difficult to install/build the thing without also adding whatever else KDE it depends upon, to get all features.

To put it short, if I did install KDE, I would probably have found this answer myself without acting like a spoiled brat, suggesting that developers think like Microsoft :)))  
Of course they dont ! , the thing is free (and featurepacked!) for cryin' out loud... ;)

Thanks again !
