Must be fun to be done porting it to qt5 and realize qt6 is now the default. :)

lemmyvore,

Qt6 will be collecting bugfixes for another year yet. I’m not saying they should take another 5 years but there’s no hurry.

deadcream,

Qt 6 has been out for more than three years now.

refalo,

The amount of new bugs introduced since Qt 6 is embarassingly, staggeringly massive. It has only very recently started going down to where it is becoming usable. But every new release breaks something new so /shrug

What about Elisa? I was under the (potentially mistaken) assumption that Elisa was the successor of Amarok.

Elisa is just the latest (and most actively developed) addition to the long list of music players developed under the KDE umbrella.

Elisa wasn’t really meant to be an Amarok successor, it just kinda turned out that way because Elisa popped up around the time of the Plasma 5 release while Amarok never made the Qt5 transition. There were other reasons for Amarok’s death (before its recent revival), though Elisa could be considered a factor.

I guess Strawberry or Clementine are the real successors.

lemmyvore,

Clementine ia also semi-abandoned. Which is why Strawberry was forked to begin with. Clementine has an rc branch that sees some infrequent work from one guy (last in Oct 2023) but Strawberry is actively developed (including support for Qt6).

Si, correcto. Strawberry is solid.

Oh man, it’s been a grip since I’ve heard Amarok mentioned. Very exciting.
