Re: Alternative to amaroK.

My amaroK is quite stable. I wonder what the difference is. Maybe mine
is too old - 1.2.3.

One of the things I quite like about amarok is the plugins. I have
amarok feed a multi-speaker household sound system, and then use some of
the available plugins so that any computer or laptop in the house can
see the currenly playing song (album art, id3 tag info, etc.), can build
or alter playlists, or control the volume. Is there any decent plugin
options/development along that line with Rhythmbox?
