As far as I know, this is not going to be possible in Amarok2. In 
Amarok1 there was a small "mini-player" window that you could use - It 
looked very similar to Winamp at the time and some people liked it. 
Personally I hate it!

That said, one of the things that *is* possible is communicating with 
Amarok from a third party program and creating your own display. See 
kirocker on Amarok1. It was a full screen system that worked really well 
during e.g. parties where you didn't want the full UI to be visible, but 
perhaps wanted to tell people the current song and what the next one 
will be etc.

In addtion, I'm not super up-to-date with how everything is done in 
Amarok2. I'm not quite sure how far the plasmification goes... perhaps 
separating out the major bits of the UI is possible?
