thing is, Cantata is the only Qt based music player i know that has an UI that 
I would consider to be any good (and yes, the dependency upon mpd may prove to 
be an insurmontable obstacle)

maybe is "not well integrated into plasma", but it's pretty much an hard 
dependency never the less (even if just for things like our networkmanager 
stuff that wants it for the wireless key) or fish kio, or kmail, or really any 
frameworks app that wants to save a password.
So, any problem it may have it's on us, and our responsibility to make it 
better, recomending a 3rd party one is not an option.
unless of course we take the effort to strip out every password saving 
capability from any of our software (and no, saying that's an application, 
it's not part of plasma so is not my problem it doesn't count)
