Amarok 2.6 Music Player Released 100
jrepin writes "KDE is proud to announce version 2.6 of Amarok music player. While it brings a reasonable set of new features, the focus of this release was on bug fixing and improving the overall stability. The new features are a complete overhaul of the iPod, iPad and iPhone support including solid support for device playlists; transcoding for iPod-like and USB Mass Storage devices; the Free Music Chart service is now activated by default; embedded cover support for Ogg and FLAC files; and album art support for tracks on the filesystem and USB Mass Storage devices."

The nice thing is that it's multi-platform, and it actually looks and works nice on other OSs - it's particularly nice on OS X, for those like me that hate iTunes.

I dunno, I'm still using the old version. But, to summarize the summary:
- Bugfixes
- Stability Increase (really, bugfixes by another name - instability is a bug)
- Improved iDevice support (which I don't use - I'm on Android)
- Change in default settings (which I could have changed anyway if I'd wanted)
- Improved album cover support (which I don't really care about - I listen to music when my eyes are otherwise occupied)
Granted, some people will probably find it's support of iDevices useful, and someone may care about album cover art, but there doesn't seem to be any major changes here.
