Like much of the rest of the 4.x series, you'll fire it up and say
"huh?".  There are definite advantages to the newer 4.x version of
amarok, but I actually don't like the interface as much.  Probably just
because I haven't actually done much to set it up.  It *is* very
customizable.

My wife was talking about an NPR report she had just listened to on the
way home and asked if I heard it.  I said I had not, quickly jumped over
to amarok with the new live-list-of-streams found it with a few
expansions of the NPR stream and said "you mean this one?".  That was
pretty cool feeling...
