Proper support for MySql. You already had a proper MySql interface, why throw it away?
Its impossible to configure the colour scheme. Again, why remove this feature?

It keeps adding random songs to what I'm listening to. Undoubtedly I can turn this off - if I can find the bl**dy setting. But currently every time I pick a track, it selects a bunch of random stuff and adds it to the current playlist. How annoying a feature is this?

>Us Amarok devs do not live in a black box totally cut off from our user base.
No, but you did in this case apparently develop something fairly poor, compared to the original. Sorry, but thats my view.
