About

Amarok is a powerful, free, and open-source music player originating from Germany, designed to simplify music playback and discovery with an intuitive interface. Its comprehensive product portfolio includes robust Library Management, integrated Last.fm scrobbling, Podcast Subscription, and features like Dark Mode, scripting support, and multiple language options, all while maintaining a privacy-focused approach. Unique capabilities allow users to open Wikipedia articles about playing artists or albums, and view similar artists with bios and pictures directly within the player. Primarily developed for Linux, BSD, and KDE Plasma (available via Flathub and Flatpak), its Windows version has been unmaintained since 2013 and is not recommended, and Mac support is noted as difficult and infrequently updated. While specific revenue, financials, leadership, or employee count are not detailed in the provided data, Amarok holds a position as a community-driven, open-source alternative in the music player market, competing with established solutions like iTunes and Foo Bar, and maintains a social media presence on Facebook and Twitter.
