    There are somewhat valid security reasons at play here, but...

    Poll: Re: Is the new Amarok slower?

    I'm using the one provided by Feisty and it's working perfectly - if not better than before, especially nice tweaks include the OSD for volume now showing a neat volume meter.

    Poll: Re: Would you ever pay...?

    Sure, if it was something I wanted to use.
