It is developed by a proud community and we are equally proud to bring you the most extensible and feature-rich media experience. Nightingale is a community support project for the powerful media player, Songbird. This makes Nightingale is an even more important Open Source project. ![]() But Unlike Amarok developers, who were pitching for an even better Amarok 2.0 by discontinuing Amarok 1.x series, Songbird developers have discontinued support for Linux entirely. Bottom line is the same though, developers decided to ditch something which users were not ready for. The Nightingale story is not so different from that of Clementine. Clementine is now actively developed and is getting rave reviews everywhere. Though Amarok 2.0 had made great strides recently, especially with the brilliant Amarok 2.3.1 "The Bell" release, Amarok 1.4 was not ready to die yet.Īmarok 1.4 was brought back from its ashes by its very own users and it was named Clementine. ![]() But with the advent of KDE 4, developers decided to rewrite Amarok from scratch which resulted in the Amarok 2.0 series. Amarok 1.4 was among the favorite music player for Linux when I first started using Ubuntu some 3-4 years ago. Take for example, Clementine Music Player. An Open Source software never really dies.
