Amarok 1.4. Loved that thing. Everything that came afterwards in both terms of version and other similar apps even the mainstream ones do not get close to how good Amarok used to be.

Oh you're triggering some serious memories with this. I don't manage offline music libraries like I used to, I pretty much stream everything or throw on a vinyl, but when I did Amarok was perfection.
