  Well I used to use it(and it was amazing!), before the devs totally mucked it up by supposedly rewriting it from the ground up (Amarok2)
  
  There are a few other reasons I'm not using atm:
  1)It requires a whole bunch of qt/KDE libs which I don't really want.
  2)When I did use amarok2 I couldn't get to play a song, never mind the fact that everything else played songs just fine(totem, vlc, mplayer, rhythmbox, banshee, etc)
  3)Right now I just want a music player, something that will play my tunes with minimum fuss, I don't need/want album art, lyrics, super fancy playlists, ipod syncing and all that jazz.
  4)Rythmbox is awesome :D

  Something that might help when you running low on international bandwidth and have to get the latest version of Linux:
  
  
  The UCT Linux Enthusiasts Group FTP server =)
  
  Most of the latest releases and pre-releases can be found here =P
  
  P.S. I love the way 10.04 just mounts ntfs drives automatically =)

  If you need helping getting other stuff to mount automatically just give me a shout. (FAT partitions for example.)

  Funny thing is, I finally know what everyone is talking about in the Linux dept... Going to UCT and studying CS boosted my Open Source knowledge exponentially... I guess that's what I've been doing all this time...
  But let me show you a bit more of what I've been up to...
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  So I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with the 2.6.38-9 Linux kernel...
  Desktop Environment: GNOME 3
  Window Manager Gnome Shell
  Theme: Adwaita
  Icons: Oxygen
  
  So what do you guys think of Unity?

  Personally I love Unity :)
  
  But I haven't tried Gnome 3 yet :(
  
  Your Gnome 3 looks incredible! *I have to try it!*
