      Elisa is just the latest (and most actively developed) addition to the long list of music players developed under the KDE umbrella.

        Clementine ia also semi-abandoned. Which is why Strawberry was forked to begin with. Clementine has an rc branch that sees some infrequent work from one guy (last in Oct 2023) but Strawberry is actively developed (including support for Qt6).

      Elisa wasn’t really meant to be an Amarok successor, it just kinda turned out that way because Elisa popped up around the time of the Plasma 5 release while Amarok never made the Qt5 transition. There were other reasons for Amarok’s death (before its recent revival), though Elisa could be considered a factor.
