Yes, indeed! Only when our choices of KDE-provided software are poor
or absent, do we reluctantly provide alternatives. Having to move to
Firefox is painful, for instance, but our KDE software choices were
not acceptable.

Harald has worked really hard on finding the best alternatives for the
ISO, and I applaud him for that work. People who want VLC, Clementine
or Juk will be easily able to install them.

Also, for the record, Amarok is available for both Windows and Mac.
