Unless we hack around it.  But you're right...there isn't enough
visibility on Windows/OS X of KDE to get anyone with experience
interested in Solid.

If one of us tackles that (I sort of kind of started a Solid on
Windows), we'd only need to get enough of it working for our needs,
which isn't all that much.

We don't need it to be.  You're taking one of the things I mentioned in
an example list and stretching it rather far.

That being said, nothing needs to do a better job of managing an iPod
than iTunes, but a lot of people won't give up iTunes for Amarok if they
have to switch back and forth and keep up two media libraries to synch
their iPod anyways.
