Chris, if you want to see an iTunes clone, look at aTunes or Banshee or
Songbird or even Rhythmbox or JuK. Amarok ain't it.

A thousand! Golly-gee, that's more functions than I knew Amarok to have
in the first place!

Go for it, Chris. I wish you luck. I'm sure you've never looked at the
codebase, but I will tell you that it was stretched to the breaking
point with features it was never designed to support, which is why
Amarok 2 was such a major rewrite so that things are easily extensible
for current and future needs. But I'm sure you know better about Amarok
1.4 than us long-time devs, and you can pile on a hundred thousand more
features.

Or go use Exaile and stop your melodramatic whining.

Yes, two emails in a row where I call out melodrama from users. What can
I say, I just calls it likes I sees it.
