No, but it sure looks nifty.
Ooh, and the original desktop version features Audioscrobbler support and a DAAP plugin. I'll refrain from holding my breath, but it would sure be nice to see such things make it into this port.

I'm amazed there's been no prior mention of it here, given the number of regulars interested in multimedia...

I read about it a while back, but there were no .deb packages available. It looks like there might be one soon, though.

From the looks of the desktop version, I think I'll be liking it.

It's basically a bad GTK ripoff of KDE/QT's Amarok.
It's one of many, many reasons I wished Maemo was based on QT instead of GTK, which is such a mess on so many levels.

Oh well.

One can't deny the coolness of Amarok, though, so I'm keeping my hopes up!

From the Exaile.org werbsite.
"Exaile is a music player aiming to be similar to KDE's Amarok, but for GTK+ and written in Python. It incorporates many of the cool things from Amarok (and other media players) like automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via Wikipedia, Last.fm submission support, and optional iPod support via a plugin.
In addition, Exaile also includes a built-in SHOUTcast directory browser, tabbed playlists (so you can have more than one playlist open at a time), blacklisting of tracks (so they don't get scanned into your library), downloading of guitar tablature from fretplay.com, and submitting played tracks on your iPod to Last.fm."

Anyone familiar with this new app in progress, Exaile?
