| PackageDescription | versatile and easy to use audio player for KDE
amaroK tries to be a little different, providing a simple drag and drop
interface that really makes playlist handling easy.
.
Features include:
- rapid playlist creation, with drag and drop from a directory view
- nice playlist browser for your existing playlists (PLS or M3U formats)
- collection-indexing support, for smart browsing and playlist creation
- possibility of accessing media via kioslaves, allowing you to play
via smb:// or fish:// (normal streams are of course supported)
- inline ID3 tag editing, capable of retrieving tags via MusicBrainz
- album cover support: automatically displays album covers from the
filesystem, or downloaded on the fly
- miscellaneous audio effects, including crossfading
- easy bindable global shortcuts, rich DCOP interface
- On-Screen Display (OSD), on track change or at keypress
.
amaroK can output to different sound systems: aRts, GStreamer and XINE
support is included in the amarok-{arts,gstreamer,xine} packages,
respectively. By default, all of them will be installed (amarok-engines
package).
.
Support for XMMS visualization plugins is also compiled in (you need to
have xmms installed to be able to use it, though). |
