The main thing is just the music library - I'd like to have it
integrate completely with the player, so I can always see the library
and smoothly move songs to the playlist. Madman accomplishes this, but
it's fairly obvious that it's a second program - I'm not going to be
able to convince my girlfriend to switch when the little things aren't
'pretty' like in windows.

A bit of bloatware isn't a problem for now - I can use lightweight
versions for myself on Fluxbox, and set up some good 'ol bloatware on
KDE for her.
