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.

Updates ...
It has been ages since I last posted here. Since then Hardy Heron 8.04 had come out and I first installed KDE4 version but had lots of crashes and general instability and wierdness. Then I went to the regular version with KDE 3.5 and when KDE 4.1 beta was released, I finally decided to try KDE4 again. Now although I have it as my main windowing environment, I donot like the fact that I cannot use some of my favourite apps and the polish is still lacking.
I plan to take on porting some of the Amarok plugins I had worked on when Amarok2 final comes out and the APIs are stable. Till then I am still using version 1.4.9
