11 That insult against Amarok is stronger than anything else I can think
12 of, and beautifully explains exactly what I find wrong with it. Amarok
13 constitutes a replacement for xmms just like an 18-wheeler tractor-trailer
14 combo constitutes a replacement for a half-ton pickup truck. If I
15 wanted xine, I would emerge xine-ui...

27 Not only do I not want to emerge xine-lib, I don't want to emerge ruby
28 and most of KDE, either.
