<Rant>
... for you, quite possibly. However, what your "best option" is may
not be the best option for the Op, much less someone else. 

While the Op did ask for opinions on Amarok (and I obliged while giving
the Op the opportunity to review something that the Op is clearly
familiar with) it's not up to any one of us to make a blanket
statement concerning what the best option is for anyone (God forbid
we start yet another war like what's the better, KDE or Gnome).

Whatever the Op's decision, will in the end be the best option for
him/her. All we can and should do is simply point out the good, bad,
and ugly of the (possible) choices. ,</Rant>
