Amarok 'Fast Forward' 1.4.5
The Amarok team is proud to announce the sixth release of the successful 'Fast Forward' series.
- An integrated Shoutcast stream directory.
- Support for custom labels. Organize your music how you want.
- Magnatune redownload manager
- Improved sound quality when using the equalizer with xine.
There are also many improvements in the GUI which make Amarok more sexy and usable than ever. See Amarok Weekly News #6 for more details on the 1.4.5 release.
1.4.5 is last release of the 1.4 Fast Forward that will have new features. Amarok 2.0 development, based on Qt4/KDE4, has already started. Exciting times for the Amarok project - the 2.0 release (perhaps as soon as this summer) will run natively on Linux, OS X and Windows!
We are also going to have a Wiki Cleanup Weekend on Feburary 10th and 11th to bring our documentation up to date. Everyone is invited to join the efforts and rediscover our wiki in #rokymotion on irc.freenode.net.
You also have the chance to meet some members of the Amarok team at the KDE booth at FOSDEM from 24th to 25th February in Brussels.

Great product, but I agree
Great product, but I agree wholeheartedly with Sergey
>>I want Windows support!!! Yeeeep!!!
Good luck.
Help with bugs?
can anyone tell me where can I pay someone to find and fix any bugs that my project has?
Sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place, but I Googled a llllooottt, but found nothing cheap?
Thanks anyway..
Boris Savic
I want Windows support!!! Yeeeep!!!
Not all my pcs have linux. Waiting new akaroK - it'll be last player an Earth
Adjust individual track volume?
Are there any plans to add the ability to adjust the playback volume for individual tracks? That's one feature that I still miss from iTunes.
Maybe in version 2?
nice player
just find this great player! awesome!
D.S. studio
I like this feature too,
I like this feature too, hope next version can provide. Great product and good luck.
love it
I just started using linux again, and i have to say out of all the problems i have ran into with linux, i have had no problems with this app. it is simply outstanding, i love it.
I want to say thanks for 'Fast Forward' it's one of the best free software for web developers!
Radio Paradise stream
I just noticed that the Radio Paradise stream (and probably many of the other internet radio channels listed in Amarok) are under economic threat due to new music pricing for these channels in the US.
If this is something you care about too, I recommend digging this: Post from RP owners.
Amarok 1.4.5
Love it! <3
Great work on the magnatune section.
Always thought it was one of the better online music stores, only stands to reason that it should find it's way into the best music player out there. Amarok has been my iTunes replacement ever since switching to Linux and now it has a music store in it, not only a music store, but one that is DRM free and lets me download flac instead of just MP3s, AACs or whatever that Sony format is that wouldn't even play on my PSP.

Firm- and country-level determinants of corporate leverage: Some new international evidence
This research analyzes the determinants of capital structure across 37 countries. Institutional arrangements matter for capital structure decisions; however, firm-level covariates drive two-thirds of the variation in capital structure across countries, while the country-level covariates explain the remaining one-third. The observed relationships between the country-level determinants and leverage provide strong support to the predictions of both the trade-off and the pecking-order theories. Country-level determinants serve as substitute mechanisms for the firm-level, industry-level, and macroeconomic determinants by moderating their marginal impact on leverage.

Meet Some Outstanding Members Who Inspire the World to Fitness®!
Jud Felder
"I believe I inspire people to fitness through positive reinforcement," says Jud Felder, personal trainer and massage therapist. "Most people enjoy hearing how much they have improved, and will continue to train hard if you encourage them." He is a major proponent of the benefits of positive self-talk. So much so that he regularly uses it for himself and insists that his clients do the same. Felder also believes that fitness can offer discipline for those who struggle with moving forward on a positive path. "Throughout life we are constantly faced with temptation—both good and bad," he says. "Someone who has learned discipline is more likely to resist temptations that could interfere with [his or her] training."
Paul Katami
"When I teach fitness classes or train with clients, I want to feel like a good friend who is sharing something healthy and valuable versus just being an instructor or a drill sergeant," says Paul Katami, group fitness manager and instructor, personal trainer and Katamibar creator. He firmly believes that it is this style of training that helps foster a holistic, "life-of-health-and-wellness" mentality. "I think that my most valuable recent experience was taking my Katamibar program to the U.S. Marine Corps fitness centers at Camp Pendleton, California," he recalls. "The marines were so great and inviting, and they really understood the value of fitness in terms of training to keep themselves ready for action."
If you would like to be featured in this section or know an IDEA member who stands out in the fitness crowd, e-mail a brief description of your (or your colleague's) fitness activities and achievements and a high-resolution digital photograph (at least 300 dpi, in focus, well-lit and at least 3″ x 3″ in its original digital format) to Ryan Halvorson, firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include your IDEA member number, if possible. You (or the colleague) must be an IDEA member to be considered for this section.
