One of the things that I like about Clementine is how it is hooked into the Music Brainz data base system. This helps with looking up song names and fixing the MP3 tags. I think that is a great feature and hope it is kept with Ultimate Edition player. What I miss from Amarok 1.4 and is not included in Clementine is feature that would guess MP3 tags names from file names. It use to save time when trying to fix some of the MP3 tag names. Also if you are feeling adventurous, one of the features that I was was available was the ability to burn to CD or to export lists of music to another place. It may do this already and I have not figured it out. But this would be useful for me when I try to par down my vast music collection to a little less and put just those songs I want onto my laptop.
I have a 400 gig music collection on one system and I DJ at some events. I actually use the crude method of using Itunes on windows to drag a song over to WinAmp to play it. This can also be done on Ubuntu with Clementine dragging to Audacious. The reason for that is Audacious can port out to my external card while Clementine plays on my regular earphone out. Its simplistic but works the best. While MIXXX has been having issues for me. I wish someone would work on that project more.... sigh

I had a go at trying to get it to recognize the music on my Galaxy S-I9000 tonight.
I had to close Rythmbox first though. Then I was able to get Player to start searching my device.
It would be good if there was some sort of indication when the prog is searching because I closed the prog by accident (not sure how actually) thinking it was not doing anything. Oh yes I remember, I had got to the stage when the Plyaer had searched the device and I had the choice of converting music for the Player to play music. I could not see at this point what music the Player had picked up and presumed it had found all my MP3s so I clicked OK. The playlist search box closed but, nothing showed up on the Player and the window went grey, you know, when the system is spending a long time doing something and the comes back to full brightness. Well the Player didn't show anything in the playlist window but, a box on the right of the screen appeared showing text saying Ultimate Player search finished.
then under the playlist header that I had renamed appeared an entry called unknown and another under that called unknown and another under that with the name of an AVI video file that I have on the Galaxy S but, no names of music files or anything. There was an entry on the main window with the number 15 in it. I think this was maybe the amount of chapters in the video file. The Player could not play the video file though so I deleted the entry. I think the Player closed at this point. I noticed that the same thing happened when I reloaded the Player and went through the same process again. This time though I opted for converting music to the MP3 format and clicked OK. The Player still did not show any MP3 files it had found after it said it had finished searching. I found this a bit strange because the system can read and write to my Galaxy S without problem and even play music from the Galaxy S when I click on a music file but, Ultimate Edition Player cannot seem to either find the files or if it does then it does not display nor play the files.
Another thing that happens is that an error message comes up 'Cannot connect to MTP device'.
So in brief, the Player I think will play all the music it can find on the computer but, has great difficulty picking up my MP3 files from the music folder on my Galaxy S Android phone.
I hope this test has helped you further develop the Player.
