Currently, the openSUSE Build Service contains Amarok 2.1 beta packages only for the KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE repository (i.e. current trunk, soon-to-be 4.3). However, a [quick search](http://search.opensu.se/) identified a repository that contains a RPM of current 2.0.90 [compiled for the KDE:KDE4:Factory Desktop](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/MasterPatricko:/KDE4/openSUSE_11.1_KDE4_Factory_Desktop) (which will change to 4.3 with Beta 1) and[ another one for the KDE:42 repository](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/MasterPatricko:/KDE4/openSUSE_11.1_KDE_42). So you can add them using YaST or zypper and download the relevant package. I had to force a repository using zypper, otherwise zypper would complain and try to install amarok 1.4 from Packman...

_Disclaimer: _I'm **not **affiliated in any way to openSUSE, nor did I make these packages. _Use them at your own risk_.  Also if you find bugs, report them on [bugs.kde.org](http://bugs.kde.org) so that the developers can fix them.
