Wouldn't it be better to just pick a *single* Napster client and put
that in an obvious place in the menus? Having 4 different apps to do
the same thing is not ideal for newbies who will not understand the
nuances of KDE vs GNOME vs plain GTK vs whatever.
In cases where the apps are not identical, it makes sense to give a
choice. For example you might provide two or three different vector
drawing programs if they have different strengths and weaknesses.
I'm not saying that the choice shouldn't be there, I'm just saying that
having several similar-but-not-identical tools appearing next to each
other in the menu is not really any better than having them in different
places.
