Powerful music player that lets you rediscover your music

Project README

Amarok - the audio player for KDE

There are many media players around these days, it's true. What's missing from most players is a user interface that doesn't get in the way of the user. How many buttons do you have to press for simply adding some new tracks to the playlist? Amarok tries to be a little different, providing a simple drag and drop interface that really makes playlist handling easy.
