Hello Kubuntu Devs, To add to this discussion... when I install Kubuntu on friends' and clients' machines, who are just average people wanting a stress-free computing experience, I remove Amarok and put in something that feels more intuitive to them.
Lately, I've been putting on Musique <http://flavio.tordini.org/musique> (sadly it's Qt4), but more promisingly Yarock <http://seb-apps.github.io/yarock/>, a Qt5 app that bills itself as a "Modern and elegant linux music player", and everyone seems to "get it". It's quite feature-full and looks good too. My one regret is that it's not in Debian/Ubuntu's repos nor do I know who to poke to get it added, as I think it'd be a great fit for Kubuntu until the new KDE-specific music player comes of age. I add it via PPA's. ~Michael On Fri, Sep 15, 2017 at 10:46 AM, Mitch Golden <[email protected]> wrote: > Ah, right.
