amaroK is a killer! It's still in development and a little shaky around the edges (as one would expect for a beta release) but it has a tremendous load of great features, such as fetching covers, displaying lyrics, organizing your files in a sqlite3 or mysql database, and many more.
It's definately worth checking out.
It currently requires a rather new
KDE as well as having
gstreamer installed (both shipped with SUSE 9.2 and 9.1) but if you are running SUSE 9.2, you've got all it takes.
You'll find an
RPM of amarok 1.2-beta2 for SUSE Linux 9.2 on my RPM website. The dependencies are shipped with SUSE 9.2, with the exception of
taglib - I'd strongly suggest you to install the
taglib 1.3.1 RPM that's on my website as well.

Did a 9.2 'upgrade all packages' the other day, to upgrade KDE as well as SUSE. Afterwards, did an 'upgrade all' with your Yast source. amaroK 1.2-beta2 is great. Thanks.
Then quickly go install amarok 1.2 (stable) on my site, it's even better.
Because of the naming scheme (I should have handled better), apt-get or YaST won't recognize "1.2" as being a newer version than "1.2beta...".
Done, thanks again.
