This is quite old. I think Amarok's Qt5 port didn't get finished, and I think Elisa is the new KDE music player: https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/elisa https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/elisa Also CD Burning? I think even in 2017 PCs and Laptops didn't come with CD drives. Personally, I like KDE for the small touches. Like the file browser having an integrated terminal that follows the directories you're browsing. If you want to see what the KDE's Design Guidelines are look here: https://develop.kde.org/hig/ https://develop.kde.org/hig/ And GNOME's is here: https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/ https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/ Perhaps it's worth doing a 2021 comparison?

According to [1] there is a "new" amarok in alpha... but I fear that the steam has gone [1] https://amarok.kde.org/en/node/890 https://amarok.kde.org/en/node/890

> I think Elisa is the new KDE music player Just installed it. Holy fuzzy fuckballs, what a punch in the gut. There are icons, but no buttons and menus. Can't figure out how to add a music file, so the program fails at its fundamental task. Disabled icons are not greyed out and have no tooltips. 20% of the space is taken away by some blue-green bar with a big honking picture of a CD. The separator widgets between the columns don't change the mouse cursor into a left-right double headed arrow. What were they thinking? This can't possibly be HIG compliant. Is everyone at the helm asleep? This would never have passed as official project during era KDE 3.

  Welcome to Plasma KDE. Visually bloated by default. I always say everything looks like a quick sketch made after a brainstorm.

  I recommend Sayonara as a good Qt music player with a solid Amarok-like interface: https://sayonara-player.com/index.php https://sayonara-player.com/index.php

    Thanks for the recommendation. Another spiritual off-shoot is Clementine / Strawberry. https://www.clementine-player.org/ https://www.clementine-player.org/ https://strawberrymusicplayer.org/ https://strawberrymusicplayer.org/
