Testing Amarok

This is a TODO-list for testing Amarok before release. It's intended to cover all features and functionalities of Amarok. If something is missing, please add it to list.

Warning: Don't report that last.fm doesn't work if you just haven't added your credentials, you need a user account and activate it in the Amarok Settings -> Configure Amarok ->Plugins section by entering your credentials! Some last.fm services (radio) are only available to paying subscribers.

Please report failed tests to https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=amarok

For users of Amarok on Windows, please see the tests in this page: Testing on Windows
