Will Amarok 2.0 support media devices like 1.x?
For Amarok 2 we are planing a greatly improved support for the media devices. With the use of Solid, the KDE hardware layer, much less configuration is needed, and you should be able to just plug in your device and access it within Amarok. Also, thanks to the Dynamic Collections, your media devices could become part of your music collection, and be searchable and accessible within the Collection Browser when it’s connected. However we are unsure how much of this will be ready for the 2.0 release, but rest assured that all the planned features will catch up at some point in the 2.x series. To find out more about reworked media devices support, read the 11th issue of the Amarok Insider.
