It has been a long time since there has been any update to the indic lyrics script (an ability for Amarok to show lyrics of indian songs in indian scripts). I just uploaded the new version to kde-apps.org website. This version has the same functionality as the old version in that it fetches the lyrics from giitaayan.com but the iTRANS program has been converted to a Javascript routine.
Check out the screenshot on the website to get a feel of how it looks and leave comments here.

Amarok 2.0.1.1 released
I have upgraded Amarok to 2.0.1.1 when I security-updated my Intrepid to latest release (as of 11th Jan, 2009) and the application itself looks nice and polished but I am a bit unhappy with KDE lately. The reason is PLASMA which is a resource hog in it's current state. I have an AMD x86_64 dual core 4200+ with 1GB of ram and Nvidia GT 6600 and plasma is taking up 32% memory and cpu usage spiking up frequently to 40%. Because of that I think my desktop seems unresponsive a lot of the times.

Updated to 8.10 - Intrepid Ibex
Kubuntu Hardy was not polished enough so I waited for Intrepid to be released and finally I updated to latest version 8.10 at the end of October. The upgrade was smooth except for couple of packages which I think are not hosted on the default Kubuntu repository.
I am still using my old Amarok 1 instead of the latest Ataksak release (2beta3) so I cannot report on anything new yet. From the Amarok Blog it seems that this version is lot more stable and polished and I can start using it. Still I would wait for 2.0 release with good MTP device support. Good to know about this.

Improvement ideas for Amarok 2.0
I had posted some improvement ideas for Amarok on the forums at http://amarok.kde.org/forum/index.php/topic,13537.0.html
The gist of it is that Amarok is the only music player which is different from most of the linux music players where it's primary display is not to show howto manage music collections but show what it is playing and it's associated information such as lyrics, artist info, listening habits and the artist's community.
