Well, I think all of those can go away. Amarok has seen so few activity over the past years that I would also consider it dead. Plus it’s quite an huge app, so porting is a lot of work, which will never happen at the current pace for sure. And KDE has been developing a new music player to replace it as the default KDE experience music player. ;) Bruno
