Amarok Live

"there's a party in the CD" - Amarok, February 15, 2005 Release Notes for Amarok Live

Amarok Live is a stripped down LiveCD with a fully functional Amarok music player bundled with the tracks commissioned last year by Wired Magazine, which are distributed under the Creative Commons Sampling Licenses. It includes - among other major artists - tracks by the Beastie Boys and David Byrne.

Cool Things To Do with Amarok Live

Use it to show your friends that use MS Windows how cool apps do exist for Linux, so switching is possible
Explore the awesome new features of the latest version of Amarok
Enjoy the really good music that comes with it, that is licensed for free distribution
Remaster it with your own tracks or plug in your usb key full of music to use as a party playlist
Use three copies to make a bikini for your girlfriend :D

Project Goals

The goals of this project are:

Create something cool to promote the Amarok 1.2 release.
Offer an easy way to introduce people to Amarok, who otherwise wouldn't have experienced it. (e.g. Windows users)
Provide a way to demonstrate the new features of Amarok when a suitable Linux installation is not available.

Eventually, we try to shrink down the image to around 250MB, which should ease up distribution.
