+I use Amarok (as do most of my "clients" who run either Mandriva or 
+Mageia) and it does work quite well. Clementine (a fork of Amarok 1.4) 
+is just a stripped down version of today's Amarok. From what I can see, 
+the backend usage for either has not been changed so much if at all.
+
+If you want more of a multimedia feel, then Amarok (IMHO) is the way to 
+go, it is keeping pace with KDE4; if you want "just a player", then 
+Clementine could be one of your choices.
+
+If you have not tried Amarok in a while, then you should give it another 
+try. I don't think you will be disappointed.
+
+Cheers,
