I tried Elisa. As music player it wasn't bad (although I don't need such 
graphical fanciness), I missed Amarok's options to manage the collection. It 
was some time ago, it could improve in meantime. I'll have a look at the 
others.
I can use as music player whatever, including VLC or so, but I also need some 
collection manager (edits of metadata and so on) and Amarok is very convenient 
in this way as it combines all functions and has so many features...
As Amarok seems to be still the default for KDE (Is it?), what will be the 
next default? Elisa? Yarock? ...?
