Hi,
the player (no matter if it is Amarok, JuK or a new one) must be integrated well in \
Plasma (eg usage of baloo for ratings, tags). If I use Plasma, it does not matter for \
me if it runs standalone on eg Windows.

By the way: Are there any plans to port Bangarang to Plasma 5 and baloo?

Sidenote: I think baloo uses the "extended file attributes". The digikam guys already \
worked on porting a nepomuk backend to baloo, so maybe they can help with their \
experience. You can find some details here:  \
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332665

Yours, Konrad
