Here my first impressions of the amaroK 1.4:
System SuSE 9.3 x86_64

1.- Version 1.3.8 Airborne, x86_64 rpm package from Guru
iPod recognition without Problem
Gstreamer, aRts and xine work fine.
In general the best mp3 player :kiss:

2.-Version 1.4 beta 1 x86_64 rpm package from Guru.
Very stable, quick and a very good sound (xine1.1.1.),.....but:
iPod is not more connectable, under the same conditions of the system where the old Version 1.3.8 no problems had.

+Why?
+Are there special systems requirements?

In this Forum is a special HOW-TO amaroK1.4 iPod SUSE10.0.
+It is really all these additional work necessary?, considering that for the Version amaroK 1.3.8 no changes in the fdi Files for HAL connection was required.
+I saw in some Wiki that libgpod has some problems with x86_64 systems:(
+I have only the version 0.2 from libgpod it is necesary to jump to the version 0.3?
+Will be all these issues improved in the final Version?

I will test the x86 Version of the amaroK 1.4 beta 1 (from Guru) to complete my final impression
Best regards

amarok 1.4 uses libgpod, that\'s the difference to the former versions. I guess (I am not using it) you really want to upgrade libgpod, especially as you have problems using it.
