We use Amarok under Windows
Many KDE users also use this great player, and when working under Windows, the question arises of looking for a worthy alternative to it. A usable version for Windows simply did not exist until recently, and one had to either use coLinux-based systems (andLinux, Ulteo Virtual Desktop), or try to build the player from source files on its own.
Not so long ago, the KDE On Windows project began to gain momentum, and with the release of version 4.1, Amarok builds for Windows began to appear in the repositories. Unfortunately, the first versions didn’t even know how to reproduce sound, but recently the situation has changed and the player has become a player. :)
So, the recipe for making Amarok under Windows is as follows.
Actually, everything. Having launched the newly installed application, and selecting “About Amarok” in the menu, we will see something like the following:

Having added something to the media library, let's get closer to the usual view:
Cyrillic from tags in Windows-1251, as expected, did not pick up correctly, but the tags in Unicode work fine.
Album covers from the Internet are also catching up - you just need to enable this option.
When changing a song, we observe On-Screen Display (and where to go without it):

So, the recipe for making Amarok under Windows is as follows.
- Download the latest version of the KDE installer for Windows, run it.
- Choose a mirror, then select the only package amarok to install - the dependencies will be pulled automatically.
- Wait until ~ 80 MB of archives are downloaded and unpacked.
