Amarok 1.4

[nitraw]

Is there any chance that Amarok 1.4 will be included in Fedora 10 repos?
So far I really like the Preview but Amarok 2 just isn't finished. As it is now it is a HUGE step back from 1.4 and I personally can't use it (as well as exaile and rhythmbox) because I need a way to display at least the composer of a piece in the playlist.
I've been trying to get Amarok 1.4 running for some time now but neither the F9 RPM nor the source works for me.
The RPM wants libmtp.so.7 but F10 include libmtp.so.8 (symlinking doesn't work) an the source buildd exits with this error:

Did anybody get Amarok 1.4 installed on F10 OR is there any other music player with the ability to sort your playlist using all tags (most importantly composer)?

Have you tried Banshee? It is possible to add Composer column in it and many more.

Well thank you! Just installed Banshee and while it is clearly inferior to Amarok 1.4 it fulfills my major requirements.
But I'll gladly accept any offer of help on the matter of getting amarok-1.4 to work.
In the meantime I'l give Banshee a shot. Seems a little slow but I can live with that for now.

Try downgrading libmtp
