Description Tabris 2008-06-14 00:02:25 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.80)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

In Amarok 1.4, when you are playing songs, in the Context Bar you can see the albums from the artist, the last time played and a lot of stuff.

In Amarok 2, is very cool to have the info in the Center, as a Plasmoid, and always the collection at the left, but it doesn't show more about the Artist, to select another Album, or that things.

Also, in Amarok 1.4, you select when you want to see (and download) the lyrics and the Wiki info of the Artist, but now you need a Plasmoid always there, and there's not space for all the Plamoids in the Center! We need back the "Tabs".

It would be nice a "classic view" (but qt4) of Amarok 2. I read somewhere about it, but I didn't see it working.

You need to specify one feature/bug per report. So, which one is it:
a) Additional plasmoid for albums
b) Amarok 1 style tabs
