Just adding my $0.02, here. I've tried both wmp and Amarok (among other free programs). Just my opinion, but wmp is a piece of crap - I've never used it - after I tried it, even on my windoze systems. OTOH, Amarok is a very good program (again my opinion), and it will likely only get better. Can you tell I chose Amarok to replace Xmms?
