I just happened to come across Exaile. It is a GTK+ based media player very similar in functionality to Amarok. I could not find any RPMs for it though there is a package for Edgy Eft.
Installation from the tarball is nothing but 'make install', but one can easily run into dependency hell since there is no configure script to tell you what you need. Make sure you have: a. python-gstreamer b. notification-daemon c. notify-python d. python-sqlite2 e. python-mutagen You might need some more, but these are what I noticed.
It is still not as polished as Amarok, but is surely nice if you can manage to install it.

perhaps some youngters on this list (like Kenneth Gonsalves and others) can take up development on this project to make it more cross-platform and polished. It would be nice to have a gtk competitor to Amarok.

Um, KG a youngster? Then what would you call us?
Or do you mean "youngster" as in new to the list? Even that wouldn't be accurate :-)

Youngsters don't fear failure, and if they do, they don't show it. That's about the only property that's important.

LOL! Thanks for the clarification.
As for PTs statement about failure, I accept that not fearing failure should be everyone's guding philosophy.
OK, enough OT discussions. I end it here.
