Amarok 3.0.1 released

Sunday, 2 June 2024 | The Amarok Development Squad

The Amarok Development Squad is happy to announce the immediate availability of Amarok 3.0.1, the first bugfix release for Amarok 3.0 "Castaway"

3.0.1 features a number of small improvements and bug fixes, the oldest fulfilled feature request dating back to 2010 this time. Wikipedia applet, UI strings, and playlist generation and collection filtering are among the components that have received multiple improvements in this release.
