I use amarok because I like its features, and I don't thing there is anything 
comprable or better in linux as far as the features go.  I think it's much 
better than itunes or any of the other stuff I've seen in windows.

The crashes I observe have been on playback, and are very difficult to 
reproduce:  on upgrade to b2 I let it run overnight with random playlist 
population - it did fine.  Then, and this proves Murphys laws the millionth 
time, when I really wanted to listen to music it  hung (!"§$!§$!§$).

I found some bug reports on earlier versions, but don't know if they were 
resolved or not.
