Hey, paul are you using gstreamer as your audio engine? or are you using multiple engines depending on the mime type and delivery method?
I tried amaroK a while ago (a year or two?) and I wasn't impressed at the time. are you using the latest stable version or the latest beta?
I've never used itunes despite having it on the ibook and now on the win2000pro partition so saying it is better than itunes doesn't mean that much to me.
Although I've not used them, XMMS has had both lyric and cover plugins for at least a year.
Happy music listening to y'all.
