Amarok 团队在继续向着 Amarok 2.0 的最终发行版，进行马拉松式的疯狂编码，并借机发布其 Beta 2-Nujalik 版本。它比 Beta 1 有许多改进和更新，几乎涉及 Amarok 的所有内容。修复了许多错误和崩溃，还填加了一些新的特性。随着 Amarok 2.0 发布的临近，许多贡献者提供了大量的补丁和错误报告。这使开发速度得到了前所未有的提升！请大家继续通过测试，提交错误报告或贡献补丁来帮助 Amarok 2.0，使其更加完善。

同时，请记住在Roktober 2008通过捐款来资助 Amarok 开发。

这个版本最显著的变化就是后台数据库，把 SQLite 换成了嵌入式 MySQL。应用嵌入式 MySQL 可以让我们利用MySQL的设置来提升效率，同时降低了对独立服务器设置的复杂度。如果需要的话，我们在将来甚至可以用单独的MySQL服务器来提供服务。最值得注意的是，你会发现许多在收藏扫描和搜索上的性能提示，特别是在你的收藏很多的时候。由于，要正确的编译可能有一定的技术难度，所以我们强烈建议使用官方的发行包，这样可以确保遇到问题的最小可能性。更多有关编译和运行嵌入式 MySQL ，请访问、编辑和帮助更新：我们的 WIKI 页面。

此版本的其他重要变化有：

• 增量扫描支持的功能回归
• LibriVox 可以让你从公共域下载和收听音频，这个服务已经移植到了 QtScript，又重新回到 Amarok 之中。
• 内容视图也有不少变成，例如修复了 Lyrics 和 Last.fm 小应用程序上的错误。
• 除了外观上表面的变化，Amarok 的稳定性也提高了很多。
