As a result, the transition was as painless as could reasonably be expected. In fact, except for a few rough edges, Clementine is an improvement over Amarok, with a more traditional arrangement of features, and, often, better performance. For all my grumbling, I had to admit that the transition was smooth. Under these circumstances, Clementine is an obvious replacement. The last release was 20 months ago, and people are asking if it is still an active project. Amarok development has slowed as the project struggles to produce a version for Qt 5 and KDE Frameworks 5. Over the years, I’d become used to Amarok, and seeing it vanish without a warning was disquieting. Since I have used Amarok as my music player for the better part of the decade, I was annoyed, to say the least. When I upgraded to Debian 10 a few months ago, I discovered that Clementine had replaced Amarok without asking me.
