and Amarok is back

Was Amarok gone?

I used to use it maybe 16-17 years ago even though I used GNOME rather than KDE. It was the best music player I'd found on Linux.

I'm finally switching back to Linux so I'll have to try it out again! These days I usually use Plexamp though.

Development was dead for years, so dead that it wasn't included in new release repositories

Clementine was a fork that was pretty good, but I think had more ambitions than active developers.

Strawberry later forked from Clementine and is still being developed, and they're doing well, but they aren't building on the KDE framework.

Do you know if Elisa is related?

Crazy that we can use 3 forks alongside each other, feels wrong.

They recently managed to complete porting to QT5 framework. Thus it is still missing in distributions that do no longer ship QT4, like e.g. Debian 11+.
