Okay, after a few more songs it doesn't sound better for every song type. The photos and artist info in the main window looks good though (especially when some hottie like Rihanna is playing
). I'm used to Amarok being a bit quirky given that it's not written for Gnome, and it throws a spaz on rare occasions.
Seems that it's using a whole lotta CPU though. Might cause slowdowns if I run too many apps. Will find out later.
