I have conducted a quick heuristic evaluation of amaroK. <br><br>Abstract:<span style=""><br>After a short
heuristic evaluation of Amarok, a total of 41 usability issues were found. Only
8 issues of low severity were found, 11 were marked medium, and the remaining
22 issues considered highly severe.</span><span style=""><br>Most of the issues
were related to design flaws. The application was not tested for task-oriented
usability. Even though the application functioned properly from a technical
perspective, attention should be given to a more aesthetic user interface
design in the future.</span>

<br><br>I wished MS Word could handle images better... the spacing isn't correct here and there, but it's the content that matters. :)<br><br>I have tried to upload the report on OpenUsability.org, but it didn't work. Hopefully, the following URL should work: 
<a href="http://chishangcheng.googlepages.com/amaroKusabilityreport.pdf">http://chishangcheng.googlepages.com/amaroKusabilityreport.pdf</a><br>It should be noted that this evaluation was not thorough. I'm planning to do some more usability work on amaroK after 
1.4 final release. Hopefully, most issues that I have addressed can be fixed in time for 1.4. :)<br><br>Comments are welcome!<br><br>Chi Shang<br>
