    <pre wrap="">Steve, have you tried
installing Amarok onto a Knoppmyth installation? I know
it's reliant on KDE so it would require a lot of KDE
libraries and suchlike but is it possible? If so, there
are Amarok web plugins that can make it controllable from
any machine on a local network and Amarok is really good
(IMHO).

Nope. Used Amarok on my desktop from time to time, but for some reason
keep going back to xmms :)

I used xmms for a long time but then tried Amarok as my collection is
of reasonable size. Once I sorted out the ID3 tags and retrieved the
album cover art for most of my stuff I really like it now. The dynamic
playlist feature is awesome as I can turn my PC virtually into a radio
station. For example, I create a custom playlist to use in dynamic mode
that takes only random songs from one or more specific genre and press
play. Amarok then just starts picking random songs that satisfy my
criteria and plays them and goes like that "forever". You can create
multiple custom playlists like that and combine them in dynamic mode at
will switching them on and off. With these features I truly find I make
the most of my collection as I get to hear songs I wouldn't normally
pick myself. Amarok's "Rediscover You Music" slogan is totally true.
The only "catch" is that you really need to have the ID3 tags on all
your music properly set, including the genre.<br>
