Oh wow. After the Amarok team dropped v1 for v2, I continued to compile v1 for years on any distro I installed. Eventually that became extremely tedious. I tried a few remakes (Clementine, Strawberry etc) but none of them kept the column view on the left sidebar! The tree layout sucked!
Unfortunately I discover this a little late because MusicBee now works flawlessly in Wine (with some small tricks) and absolutely blows Amarok v1 away. A few years ago I downloaded an ancient archive of Ubuntu (8.04?) and turned it into a docker image, found a still-online deb repo, installed as many development packages I could find, and managed to compile a static Amarok 1.4. I got it running on my desktop! But it was a disappointment - I remembered it being waaay better than this. I'm pretty sure I had a patch I made to tweak how the left sidebar worked in columns mode too.,
