Amorok is lovely but Avast AV thinks Linux is malware!
Date: Oct 22 2025SummaryIf you are a bit itchy over the music program you currently use, or just like to try new things out to compare, I heartily suggest you give Amarok a good try out as the KDE organization (Linux) has worked on, improved and supported this app with a good forum for many years.
PositiveGreat control over music/audio library.
Access to many online radio and music hosts of which many are free.
For what it does, it loads quickly and is relatively easy on resources in my old ASUS G74SX.NegativeNothing about Amarok. Only AVAST will not let it contact websites it uses in Linux. Thinks they are malware but they are not when Amarok accesses them. Had to dump AVAST over it as no matter what I excluded or made exceptions for, it's 'mind' was made up. Bit defender does the job and does not intrude into my world more than it thinks is justified. This happened in October,2025 running a fully protected but outmoded Windows 7.1 as my machine will not do Win 10-11. Still like to double boot with Linux and Windows and have done so for 13 years. No reason to abandon a good OS just because yobs try to stampeded you into it. Ran XP waaaaaay past it's due date and if you are careful with where you go, no trouble at all.
