Amarok is a Music Player that not only plays any music file you decide to throw at it, it also supports iTunes, can sync with your iPod, is (theoretically) cross-platform, and is generally pretty slick. The latest release has been a long-time coming, and is now finally available. If you are a Linux user, definitely go for the download. Mac and Windows users can still give it a try, though the application is still buggy on these systems.

I will be testing this new release over the next couple of days, and will give it a try on Windows, so stay tuned.
Update: It appears the design team has scaled down there original plans. For the time being iPod and iTunes support has been removed, but is likely to return in future releases. I’ll be keeping on eye on this software, but right now Songbird is probably a better open-source multi-platform alternative.
