Was ist Amarok?
Amarok has been a staple KDE audio player since the early 2000s, evolving into a mature, stable application focused on managing large music libraries. Version 3 stabilized around 2015, and development has continued at a steady pace, with 3.3.3 released in 2026. It's built on Qt and integrates well with KDE, though it runs fine on other desktops.
It's ideal for users with extensive music collections who want rich metadata, tagging, and dynamic playlist features. If you rely on organizing by rating, play count, or custom rules, Amarok delivers. It also suits those who want last.fm scrobbling, scriptable behavior, or cloud music access via Ampache.
Compared to Winamp or Foobar2000, Amarok feels more like a music *manager* than just a player. It’s heavier than those tools, trading minimalism for depth. Unlike the lean interfaces of DeliPlayer or classic Winamp, Amarok uses screen space for context—album art, lyrics, and stats appear alongside playback.
Ideal für: Users who want a full-featured music manager with smart playlists and deep metadata support on Linux.

If you're coming from Winamp or Foobar2000, expect a shift from manual playlist control to database-driven library management. Amarok imports most common formats (MP3, FLAC, OGG, etc.) and can read your existing folder structure. Tag editing is built-in and robust. Keyboard shortcuts differ—learn the new ones under Settings > Configure Shortcuts. Your old skins and Winamp plugins won’t work, but scripts offer similar customization.
