Urgh, did I have to do the awful pun in the title!

The other day I discovered the greatest music playing app in the entire world. It’s called amaroK, yes with a K, and it’s cool.

It has a great Wizard when you first run it that loads all your music and indexes it and so on. It uses an SQL lite DB in the back which means it doesn’t take forever to load like Juk does (’cause it’s scanning all your oggs).

I particularly like the “100 Random Songs” button, and the “Least listened to”, “Most listened to” etc. Even though I have 5 days worth of non-stop music sometimes I just can’t think of anything I really want to listen to. The random playlist is nice cause it just gets some music going and then you find something that fits your mood.

Did I mention it fetches cover art from Amazon? And Lyrics. And it can upload to Audio Scrobbler which uses the music you listen to to find other music you might like (and has a very good privacy policy).

Tops.
