Amarok is a free software music player for Linux and other varieties of Unix. It makes use of core components from the KDE desktop environment, but is released independently of the central KDE release cycle. Despite the fact that Amarok uses wolf-based artwork, and that the name amarok or amaroq literally refers to the Inuktitut word for wolf, it was originally named after the album Amarok by Mike Oldfield. If you play the tune in this player, a window with information about the name will be shown. The 1.2 release originally had a wolf icon, but this was later withdrawn due to similarity with the logo of WaRP Graphics Inc. Amarok's wolf logo has now been modified sufficiently so as not to infringe on WaRP's trademark logo, and re-instated. Originally it was named amaroK, it was, however, renamed to Amarok in June 2006.   [edit]
