YaRock is a very simple music player for Linux written in Qt (it doesn't install KDE libraries so it can be used under GNOME without KDE services, unlike Amarok for instance) that doesn't have many features for now, but what's very cool about it is the multiple views: album, artist, track, genre, year view or folder view. Every part of the UI is very well though which makes YaRock a pleasure to use.
A quick reminder of the most important YaRock features: multiple views, Icecast/Shoutcast radios, automatic cover art fetching, and more. For more info on YaRock, see our previous posts.
