amaroK 1.4: Rediscover More of Your Music
=========================================

   The amaroK [http://amarok.kde.org] team have announced
[http://amarok.kde.org/amarokwiki/index.php/Announce_1.4] the official
release of amaroK 1.4, and the launch of the Fast Forward series,  the
cheeky successor to the well-received Airborne series. Fast Forward
comes with improved media device support, featuring enhanced iPod
support that handles the latest iPod devices, support for IFP/IRiver
devices, a new plugin for generic media devices, and the ability to
handle as many of these devices as you'd like.

     Changes to the way song lyrics are fetched mean you're now able to
write scripts for your favorite lyrics site. The collection scanner has
moved to its own process, keeping amaroK more responsive and stable.

     One of the most requested features, user-chosen song ratings, has
made it into amaroK 1.4 Fast Forward as a complement to the automated
score system, allowing you to set a song's quality from 1 to 5 points,
as well as the ability to use these ratings when creating smart
playlists.

     Rediscover more of your music! amaroK now has tag support for Ogg,
MP3, MP4/AAC, FLAC and Real Media, allowing all these music formats to
be added to your collection.
