Please do. I've not used it as I found a different solution (mpd and front-ends) worked better for my needs, but going by all the reviews and etc I've seen, clementine really IS pretty much universally regarded as the modern successor to kde3's amarok, what amarok for kde4 SHOULD have been to carry on the name, while kde4's amarok is really an entirely different application in both code and usage. Based on all I've read, I highly doubt you'll be disappointed, and will probably wonder why you hadn't switched sooner, saving the headaches of maintaining your old amarok. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
