MAC Darling Clementine Dupes Here are our dupes for MAC Darling Clementine, which is a very warm-toned, medium orange with a matte finish. It is a limited edition lipstick that retails for $20.00. With its many cloud streaming options and powerful audio player, Clementine for Mac looks like a solid music app. The place where it truly shines, though, is in its impressive music streaming.

Clementine is a free and open-sourceaudio player. It is a port of Amarok 1.4 to the Qt 4 framework and the GStreamermultimedia framework. It is available for Unix-like, Windows and macOS.[4] Clementine is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.[5]

Clementine was created due to the transition from version 1.4 to version 2 of Amarok, and the shift of focus connected with it, which was criticized by many users. The first version of Clementine was released in February 2010.[2]

Some people were disappointed when Amarok 2.0 was released, it had changed a lot from the tried and trusted 1.4 and not to everyone's liking. Amarok 1.4 was still around, but uses the older QT libraries, which modern distros do not install. Being open source, it was almost inevitable that someone would take the Amarok 1.4 source code and begin porting it to QT4. What was far less inevitable was that the porting project would reach the stage of a usable release, but that is exactly what Clementine has done.

Porting to QT4 has two advantages, not only does it mean that Clementine can run on modern distros without needing older libraries, but QT4 is also available for Windows and MacOS X, so Clementine is now truly cross-platform.

If you ever used the older Amarok, you will feel immediately at home with Clementine. Some of the more esoteric features have not made it across (yet) but that's not necessarily a bad thing, Amarok was already beginning to get quite bloated (or feature rich, depending on your point of view) by the 1.4 release. The basics are there, playlist management, ID tag editing and Last.fm integration. The latter not only allows you to listen to music from Last.fm, you need an account there, but it can also download cover art from their site. Clementine can also play streamed audio fro many Internet radio stations, although it doesn't have the podcast support of Amarok 2.

If you want a basic but functional music player that fits in with a KDE desktop, you won't go far wrong with Clementine, even at this early stage of its development.

Version 1.3 major new features (see changelog for more), include:

- Vk.com support
- Seafile support (server >= 4.4.1)
- Add Ampache compatibility (through Subsonic service)
- Add new analyzer 'Rainbow Dash'
- Answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything
- Add 'Psychedelic Colour' mode to all analyzers

Verdict:

Clementine Software

f you yearn for the good old days when Amarok just played music, this is the player for you.
