sunrat, I agree, even today, I have tried every player out there, they suck compared to amarok, yes, my opinion, I know opinions are different, this ones mine
I don't like light weight players
Audacious is ok, but, just ok
Decibel, Nuvola is not bad either
I am going to try Juk, it has been many many years since I tried that (of course I am keeping amarok for now)
