I don't use Amarok and only pop into KDE every once and awhile in order to track how it's shaping up, but I found this assertion a bit strange due to all the hype I heard around Amarok2. I thought maybe it's because I mainly read developer blogs that were targeted at other developers. So I went and checked out Amarok's homepage [1], and see no mention of the Amarok 1.X series on the front page. Their download pages are no different. The Kubuntu [2] page offers "Stable version: Amarok 2.0.x" and "Development version: Amarok 2.1" The same is true of the source download page. [3] If its developers really think that users should stick with 1.4 they aren't doing a good job promoting that.
