Jamendo

Sat Jan 31, 2009 4:55 pm
Another part of Amarok where much work has been invested is the Web services integration. Now Amarok can connect to various Web services and access the music from there directly, enriching your music collection greatly. And thanks to the powerful API adding additional services can be done with very little effort. This has been covered in the Insider on previous occasions, but now is a good time to have a look at what will actually make it into the final 2.0.0 release. Lets take a look at services supported by Amarok 2.0 Beta 3:

Ampache Service
It allows you to connect to the Ampache music server and use it like any other service, which includes browsing, searching, cover art display, and of course music playback. This is really cool, as it allows you to have one centralised server holding your perfectly tegged collection, and use Amarok as a frontend remotely, which is, kinda, best of the both worlds.

Jamendo Service
It gives you access to the Jamendo's rich database of independent artists.


I keep reading this all over the place, but I can't find directions on how to do it. Could some one walk me through the process? I get all of my music from Jamendo and would really love to use Amarak to make it easier.

Thanks!

With Amarok 2 just click on the "internet" tab and Jamendo should be there.

If its not, I guess maybe its disabled by default. Go to the Internet section of the Amarok's configuration dialog.

On the top row I see:

Engage | Playlist | Mode | Tools | Settings | Help

On the side row I see:

Context
Collection
Playlists
Files
Magnitune
Devices

In settings I can configure Global Shortcuts, shortcuts, toolbar & Amorok. In these I see not "internet" tab or settings. I am lost.

Jamendo isn't part of Amarok 1.4 - you'll need to use 2.0.1.1 to get this feature!
