Amarok is already an excellent music player for GNOME users.  The fact 
that it has dependencies on various other libraries not blessed by GNOME 
isn't really a big deal.  I still use Firefox even though I'm a KDE 
user.  Right tool for the right job, etc.

Amarok makes heavy use of great KDE libraries like Solid, Plasma, and 
Phonon, which are also going cross-platform.  In short, it will not be 
Qt-only anytime soon.  (The idea was actually mooted a while back and we 
eventually rejected it.)
