text: Amarok is a free software music player for Linux and other varieties of Unix , as well as Windows since version 2.0 ( through KDE for Windows ) . It makes use of the KDE Platform , but is released independently of the central KDE Software Compilation release cycle .
simplified: Unlike most KDE programs , it has its own schedule for releasing versions , so a new version of Amarok might not be released when a new version of KDE comes out .
