You can install amarok only (see with aptitude what it would install) and don't install Recommend:'s (only those you choose to install). > Alternatively, is there a gtk alternative to amaork that comes close? There is a package that is being evaluated to be uploaded to Debian, called exaile, which is a clone of amarok, but written with gtk in mind. See http://www.debian.org/debian-mentors/ for the latest discussions. > I haven't used banshee for a while -- how is t hat shaping up? Do its > mono dependencies make it similarly 'heavy' to amarok? I don't know, as usually avoid things that need a virtual machine (the same thing with Java), but I'd be interested to know others' opinions.
