[gst-devel] amaroK 1.1-beta1 released

[Mark Kretschmann]

The amaroK team announces version 1.1-beta1 of the amaroK audio player

In time for the annual KDE developer conference "aKademy", we present amaroK
1.1, the next generation of the leading audio player for KDE.

* GStreamer Fully Integrated with KDE : Play from your Samba share with
  smb:/, or use the fish KIOSlave to play from a remote host.
* Xine support : This easy to install framework can play a great number of
  media formats and is very reliable.
* MusicBrainz support for tag editing : No voodoo needed for tagging your
  music, just click the MusicBrainz button and it will get the song
  information from the online database.
* Album cover support : If you have album covers in your music directory
  amaroK will automatically load them - better yet, amaroK can automatically
  download album covers from the Internet!
* Multimedia Keyboard Friendly : If you happen to have extra multimedia
  buttons on your keyboard, using amaroK is even more fun. Just use KHotkeys
  to map those special buttons to amaroK's dcop functions (like
  play/pause/volume up/volume down and many more)!
* Welcome Wizard : For easy configuring at first program startup.

Please note that this beta release does not support the aRts framework. Use
the GStreamer or xine backends instead.
