We really don't know, but you can probably expect a beta in a few
months, and the final in summer. But that's just an educated guess.

No, 2.0 won't have video support. A later version might integrate
rudimentary support for playing music videos and such, but this is not
yet decided. In the meantime we recommend Codeine (called Dragon
Player in KDE4), which was made by an Amarok developer and is quite
excellent.

Amarok 2.0 will run on Unix, OSX and Windows.

We've always liked iCandy, so stay tuned :)

We're regularly blogging about new and interesting events; just keep
watching our blog.
