Linux.com features a review of the Exaile music player.
This new music player for GTK+ and GNOME aims at a featureset similar to the popular Amarok player, but tightly intergrated with the GNOME desktop. Its also another application showing the quickly growing popularity of using Python as an application development language. Be sure to check out the review for information about the status of Exaile and also take a look at the Exaile homepage at www.exaile.org.

Just read the summary of the Amarok KDE usability report available from http://usability.kde.org/activity/reports/2006/amarok.php :

"After a short heuristic evaluation of Amarok, a total of 41 usability issues were found. Only 8 issues of low severity were found, 11 were marked medium, and the remaining 22 issues considered highly severe.

Most of the issues were related to design flaws. The application was not tested for task-oriented usability. Even though the application functioned properly from a technical perspective, attention should be given to a more aesthetic user interface design in the future."
