I went to look at the screenshots, saw armarok 1.4.10, got excited thinking they'd brought it back, and then got sad when I realized the screenshot was from 201

  Just because I looked that up recently, there are at least three forks based on amarok 1: Exaile (a GTK port), Clementine (a fork towards Qt4) and Strawberry (a fork of Clementine, I don't know the background).

  They do have a somewhat maintained fork of the amarok 1.4 line that more or less works the way I liked: I've been using when I want to listen to music on my linux desktop. I think it's forked from a bit before the late amarok 1.4 releases. EDIT: here's the latest changelog: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Changelog_For_R14.1.3#amarok https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Changelog_For_R14.1.3#amarok

  Isn't Strawberry [1] a quite acceptable continuation? [1]: https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/ https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/

  Actually Amarok did see a revival in the past year or so! https://blogs.kde.org/2024/04/29/amarok-3.0-castaway-released/ https://blogs.kde.org/2024/04/29/amarok-3.0-castaway-release... They've recently pushed out a new release with the code base ported to Qt/Plasma 5 and are now going for Qt/Plasma 6.

    Popularity of streaming services like Spotify and closed clients, I hardly use Amarok.
