Amarok is feature-rich, but heavy indeed. I don't recommend it for a |
| 22 |
drop-in XMMS replacement. If you like the idea of editing mp3 tags and |
| 23 |
organzing your music really nicely, browsing it 3 different ways and |
| 24 |
seeing cover art from amazon.com and such, amarok is for you. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
But if you like xmms, maybe before you try to find more alternatives |
| 27 |
you'll consider trying to compile and install it from downloaded |
| 28 |
sources, manually. |
