I agree with Janek (hey Janek). Amarok may be out of date but that doesn't 
mean it should be tossed into the rubbish heap. That kind of thinking is what 
lead to kde4.

Perhaps, one day, someone will pick it up and update it.
Till then, it's just fine. I don't use the fetch over or lyrics. I do it on me 
own.

Cheers to all,
