Amarok 2.4 Slipstream Released

The Amarok audio player developers introduced version 2.4, codenamed Slipstream.

In this release, performance, usability and stability are significantly improved.

Most of the errors related to the context panel have been fixed, the collection scanner has been completely rewritten. Amarok can now record statistics and covers directly to audio files to save information, even if you use multiple devices. Now you can hide the menu bar.

Users can now connect to the MusicBrainz music library to update song tags. The developers had to remove the Playdar collection, added in the first beta, but after making some changes, it will be returned again.
