Yeah, but they don't play music |
| 18 |
or provide easy access to media devices |
| 19 |
or provide easy access to additional information about artists and albums |
| 20 |
or search for the lyrics of the song you listen to |
| 21 |
or integrate last.fm, which provides information about your *audioprofile* |
| 22 |
or supports dynamic playlists which selects tracks based on your criteria |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
amarok is not light because it's not designed with that goal in mind |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
and the ram usage is only a problem when it's needed for something else. |
| 27 |
Keep in mind, most desktop systems rarely fully utilize their resources. If |
| 28 |
ram isn't used, it's wasted. |

amarok also runs fine with sqlite, so this shouldn't be keeping anyone back. |
