¸2nd¸ amaroK 1.3 overview

Since the last overview hasn't changed that much, so I'll tell you this time more about the awesome party mode feature.

Screenshots are on B!T-Freaks.net

Well, what does this feature do?

It's some kind of combination of the random- and the append suggestions feature. I know this says not very much about the party mode but it describes it in a very easy way. So let my go deeper. If one song is played the mode takes it from the playlist and add another (or a group of others), this could be a random taken or one from the suggestions or from a special playlist/genre. So the party mode gives the ability to a constant rotation of songs, either in a defined group of songs or complete randomly.

But there are of course new features since the last overview:

• Now there are tooltips in the cover manager, so you haven't to guess anymore
• The script manager got icons, looks really fancy ;)
• The playlist window got a new analyzer (screenshots), if they (ALL) will be in 1.3 isn't yet clear, cause some are not really scalable as you can see
• The wiki tab is now also more fancy. It got some new features, I guess it will topic of the next overview :)
• The party mode also got some polishing, but nobody knows what exactly ;) — maybe I should ask sebr?!
• Something I've forgotten in the last overview: Shouter (a script for streaming) is now Part of amaroK and develops really fast

Special: Sandro Giessl (Plastik) and Patrice Tremblay (Lipstik) are planning to make a window decoration/style only for us :D
