There’s no need to hate Amarok 2 (leave them developing its ALL NEW AND FUNCTIONAL (cr)APP), @Covarde_Anonimo at lastfm (thanks bud) point me to PANA which covered ALL my needs again:

As stated on his web:
“Pana is an audio player for KDE based on Amarok 1.4 . If you are already using Amarok 2.x that is a better player choice. Pana is intended for users stuck on Amarok 1 functionality and layout. Please don’t complain to Amarok about Pana! Report bugs or questions through http://pana.bunnies.net/”;

Clementine is another fork of 1.x with great (and kind) support on IRC with a slight new look (but very functional too) and windows support, both apps are well documented and highly recommended.

Before finding them (3 weeks ago), I was thinking to use Itunes for manage my collection and ipods, because I was unable to find a good replacement, I really tried to use Amarok 2, but it was unsuccessful:… Ipod support SUCKS, there are no way to get the i/o status with the device, Playlist creation and management SUCKS, is S L O W , and the interface is ugly trying to look like itunes.

THANKS to the 3 teams…
