Why amaroK ‘Roks’
Yes, I’m talking about amaroK, the free, open source music player, currently only for Linux and Unix, but soon to be available for Windows and Mac OS X. As the saying goes, there are two kinds of people in the world: those who use amaroK, and those who don’t. amaroK is the ultimate music management software, and for a casual music buff like me, it’s the best you can get out there. What separates amaroK from the other popular players in the market are its features which are targeted to make music management and playback easy, and a pleasing experience. Here, I’ve highlighted some of the key features of amaroK.
Super fast music searching
amaroK1 amaroK has an individual search box for your collection and your playlists, so that you can search for music in each of them separately. There is no lag in display of results, and results are shortlisted automatically, in real-time, each time you type in a character in the search box. This means that you don’t have to type in a long name for a particular track if you see it after typing the first 2-3 characters. In short, efficient management.
