I never found a better replacement, including Amarok 2.x. Actually, I am using TDE repos mainly for Amarok as well as for a few programs I felt in love with (kpdf, kuickshow, ksnapshot, konqueror, kolourpaint, kcolorchooser). I really hope Amarok will not be dropped from TDE in the 20+ forthcoming years! (At that point, I might get retired, still listening to music a lot, and then consider to contribute to maintain it!)
