All in all I am not in to much of a hurry to push Mac and windows
versions beyond beta untill the core app is rock solid. Amarok 2.1.0
is looking really good, but there are still big sore spots that would
make Amarok loose ground in competition with iTunes, WMP and friends.

So, if someone wants to specifically do stuff that will aid the
Windows and Mac versions, fine, but I would prioritize core app
projects higher.
