Hmm, this one doesn’t get as far as the last version.
The status flicks through very quickly, but what I could make out, it connects to the right host and port, then after a few very quick “Asking for…” processes it asks for the playlists and then displays “Connected to undefined” without noticeably pulling anything off the server (I have ~14k tracks, so it’s noticeable when it does). The “artists” list displays “All undefined artists…”.
With regards to the layout, it already looks more usable than Amarok, I just look forward to using it 🙂
