KDE Plasma Media Center 1.2 Beta 1 features an easier "All Music" mode, automatic artist and album cover downloading, folder previews for pictures, multiple playlist support, keyboard support for media controls, and refactored common components for media browsers. There's also been other updates to this latest KDE Plasma Media Center software.

Plasma Media Center 1.2 is planned for an official release the week before Christmas (20 December) while a release candidate is aimed at early December. Plasma Media Center 1.2 details are available from community.kde.org while on Red Hat's Sinny Kumari blog are details (and screenshots) on the just-released 1.2 beta.
