I read a review of KDE 4.2 on windows and the reviewer said that he couldn't get any sound out of Amarok.

My wife has to use windows at work and doesn't like any of the media players she has found for it, WMP is junk, iTunes is annoying, etc. But she likes Amarok. I don't know if the sound stuff is generally broken or just in the reviewers case.

I have a copy of XP on VirtualBox, I can set up KDE4.2 on that.

I've tried KDE on XP on Virtualbox and my main gripe was it was slow. (I don't think that's a virtual machine thing, other things were fine. Well fine by Windows' standards!)

Cross-platform music players that work well on Windows: Songbird Aqualung (might appeal particularly to old Jethro Tull fans) Foobar2000

All-round media player: VLC; and for use on locked-down work machines: VLC portable (www.portableapps.com)

Zinf, though the version is rather old.
