I use amarok because I like its features, and I don't thing there is anything comprable or better in linux as far as the features go. I think it's much better than itunes or any of the other stuff I've seen in windows. The crashes I observe have been on playback, and are very difficult to reproduce: on upgrade to b2 I let it run overnight with random playlist population - it did fine. Then, and this proves Murphys laws the millionth time, when I really wanted to listen to music it hung (!"§$!§$!§$). I found some bug reports on earlier versions, but don't know if they were resolved or not. Chris -- C. Hurschler
