**Update**
Added some Amarok on windows screenshots :)
For those who don't know about Amarok, Amarok 2 is the free cross platform music player, with support for album art, lyrics, Wikipedia and last.fm integration.
Amarok 2 is not out yet as it is going to be releasedwith KDE 4.2 sometime in January 2009 before KDE 4.2 :) in 1 to 3 months, Amarok team released beta 2 few days ago, Amarok 2 is cross platform i.e. available for Mac, Windows & Linux (:D). As my Arch installation was screwed up so I'm on Kubuntu, they have a nice repository to try nightly builds of Amarok/KDE4 (project neon), following screenshots are bit old as they are taken from my Arch Installation.
It supports Last.fm integration, Jamendo, Magnatune, Shoutcast Radio service,Mp3tune service etc...
the best feature I like about Amarok2 is Dynamic Playlist.
for collection and statistics it uses MySQL embedded
Last.fm
Shoutcast!
Amarok2 on Windows
working pretty good, no problems encountered so far.. taking in mind the beta state of this software, it works very well!
surely it lacks many features compared to Amarok 1.4 but Amarok 2 looks promising and there are many unique features that makes Amarok 2 users special ;)

Just a small correction: We are releasing independent of the main KDE programs. This means we are very likely to publish Amarok 2.0 before KDE 4.2. Likely sometime in the next 1 to 3 months.

I couldn't in the past 5 years now.
Anyway, a nice preview. I always used to like JuK better, and probably also will in the future. Amarok is a great project, it just has so many features that I get confused using it.
But with Amarok2 closing it's release, it's probably time to take a look again. The last version I had was simply not usable at all (due to the reason that it didn't even start - what's quite a while ago).
