And I've long since switched to a streaming service. But I am still on a Linux desktop —and KDE. :)

It got revived suddenly, there's going to be a new release soon.

Given the response here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481383

I'm unimpressed.

This is to a bug that, according to their public communications, was fixed years ago. Except of course that it's still present. But other than that, it was fixed years ago.

I mean, it says quite clearly that no one has built an up-to-date version of Amarok for Windows since 2013, but the bug is fixed in the source code and has been for a long time. That no one has stepped up to package Amarok for Windows in that time isn't a bug.
