I assume Amarok relies on libgpod.  Unfortunately, every time Apple
releases new hardware, they change something and the libgpod people
have to reverse engineer it all over again, so there is always a
delay.  I would look in to the status of libgpod.

I empathize, but this horse has been dead so long you're beating on
dry bones.  Amongst users, the abandonment of 1.4 and rewrite of 2.0
was vastly unpopular, but amongst that Amarok developers, it was the
right thing to do.  I have not seen the code for 1.4, so I don't know
just how painful it was to maintain, and can't comment.  In the end,
though, an open source project does what the developers want, not what
the users want. :)
