Firefox, which is the most common used name, is actually called Mozilla 
Firefox - the moz foundation hasn't renamed it though - people even don't use 
mff .... Kubuntu gets often called as KUbuntu, which looks like shit and is 
actually wrong - though also Kubuntu hasn't got renamed.

As for the wolf player: amaroK looks (imo) much more unique than Amarok, for 
an name like aKregator is it doubtable, but this last letter up makes the 
name look more interessting, as there aren't much words/name starting lower 
case and ending upper case.

So, I really think renaming is unnecessary and badly influences recognition of 
amaroK.

@Guti:
writing amaroK doesn't need any more time when you wrote it 1000 times
