The release of Amarok2 for windows depends on a few things. First of
all, we need to get Amarok2 ready in general. The code already builds
and runs on Windows, but the main issue is the lack of an usable audio
engine. This should change when Qt 4.4 is released as this will
include Phonon and a working audio engine for all major platforms (
Windows, Linux, and Mac ).

So, If I were to venture a guess, I would say that you will see an
official Windows version of Amarok ( it is not even really a port as
most of the code is inherently cross platform already ) sometimes
after Qt4.4 is officially released.
