<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Fresh from the amaroK development squad, comes [http://amarok.kde.org/content/view/69/66/ the first beta release of amaroK 1.4], the 'Fast Forward' series. This generation has a lot of shiny new features and eye-candy. amaroK development has literally been in fast forward mode since November, the [http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/ChangeLog?rev=508559&view=markup changelog] is actually one of the longest in project's history. <br />
<br />
==== Hot New Features ====<br />
<br />
Since work started on amaroK 1.4, several features have been repeatedly requested, via the amaroK forum, IRC and mailing lists, as being essential to amaroK users.<br />
<br />
That said, amaroK now includes the ability to tag (and add to the collection) WMA, MP4/AAC and RealMedia (RA,RV,RM) files.<br />
<br />
Another long-standing item from the wishlist is gapless playback, and this has finally been implemented, along with audio CD support (and CDDB lookups) for the popular xine engine.<br />
<br />
By far the biggest change in amaroK 1.4 is the reworked media device system. Apple&reg; iPod&reg; support has been greatly improved (thanks to libgpod), and iRiver&reg;/ifp and generic media devices are now supported, although the latter is still a little unstable.<br />
<br />
Along with these major changes, amaroK's user interface has been cleaned up and simplified, and much work has been done under the hood to improve performance and stability.<br />
<br />
The team now asks everybody to hunt and squash bugs, for ones own enjoyment as well as make 1.4 even more stable than 1.3 already was. A [http://amarok.kde.org/amarokwiki/index.php/1.4-Known_Issues list of known issues] is available. <br />
