[Tfug] Suggestions on something less horrifically bloated than Amarok?

Short and sweet -- 



The degree of sheet bloat and unchecked corpulence of Amarok is beyond shameful. Its painful. Circus fat lady sitting next to you in coach with a 90 pound tumor on a transatlantic flight painful. Check out the pain from ps:

Now, I'm no math major, but this piece of shit requires 900MB of just to get off it's fat ass and draw a welcome screen.  Apparently, it takes Amarok 255MB just to scan a handful of ID3 tags in your MP3s, and another 655MB to actually play them…one at a time. I've got a friend at work who can't seem to break his indulgent, wasteful Amarok habit. Anybody got any suggestions on a svelt but full-featured media player that won't cause paging activity on half the machines it runs on?
