I agree, it's not that hard for us to advertise in such way, BUT, my main
concern about promotion is our product, what do we want to promote? For
serious promotion we need serious product. No one on the street (club,
whatever) will take us serious if will promote just Linux version of Amarok,
which - no matter how great - they will never try on their Win or Mac. So:
My last and most important question is: What's with our Mac&Win ports?

PS I've been using Amarok on Win on my vbox, and it *works* but it's
definitely not product we want to advertise..
