Dear all, in discussions during Akademy 2015 we found out that while we have with Plasma 5 a Desktop that has a modern & consistent look, the state of some applications isn't that good. And we want to change that.
At the moment KDE has no up-to-date music player. JuK is very simple to use, but lacking a modern design. Amarok is and will stay the swiss-knife of KDE music players, but also lacking a modern design and may be too complicated for new users. So let's make a new music player, a successor especially to JuK & Bangarang. A music player not for power users or music enthusiasts that want/need 100s of features in a player but a simple player designed & made for users of the Plasma 5 Desktop. What do we already have: -) A design vision by the VDG including UI mockups & user stories [0] What do we need: -) More People to discuss & flesh out the vision [1] -) A motivated team of designers, software architects, coders & testers, dedicated to creating a modern music player for our users This music player should not replace Amarok or other great Qt-based music players like Tomahawk or Clementine, as their feature set is much bigger than this new music player should ever have. So if you are interested, contact me either in person on Akademy, on IRC (HorusHorrendus @ freenode) or via mail (stefan [at] derkits.at) Stefan [0] https://community.kde.org/KDE_Visual_Design_Group/Music_Player [1] https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=285&t=122273
