[Wlug] Amarok

I picked up a Cowon iAudio U3 a few weeks ago after and exhaustive 
search for a player with a good amount of memory (2GB) and plays
ogg and flec files.

Anyway, I've been burning my CDs to ogg/vorbis as time allows to build 
a library for myself and recently burned my old copy of Mike 
Oldfield's _Amarok_.

I honestly never made the connection between the name of the album and 
my new favorite media player, but when I started playing amarok.ogg 
in the Amarok player this morning this popped up:

"One of Mike Oldfield's best pieces of work, Amarok, inspired the name 
behind the audio-player you are currently using. Thanks for choosing 
Amarok!
Mark Kretschmann
Max Howell
Chris Muehlhaeuser
The many other people who have helped make Amarok what it is"

Cool!  Just thought I'd share that.  :-)
