The only way I know of is to rename the second menu entry. The first must be
the application's name.
And all the changes I've made here are all special cases only for OS X. None
of these changes will show up in linux/windows versions.
As for the second issue. Playback next to playlist does look a bit weird,
but those menu titles indicate exactly what the entries control so I think
they should stay. We can just reorganize to make playlist show up later on
Amarok Playback Tools Playlist Settings Help
Or we can just rip a menu title directly from iTunes/Play (and probably
other OS X media players) and change the name to "Controls".
Amarok Controls Playlist Tools Settings Help
OR we can just rename it to "File". Most of the operations are performed on
files anyway.
