you are joiking right? The tree browsing is the best I've seen - heck the whole interface is the best I've seen. The iTunes one is inflexible and laborious, especially with the playlist on a different page to the library. Making a playlist with the Amarok interface is so much easier.
There is also Banshee if Exaile! isn't too your liking (There both Gnome Amarok clones so very similar). Songbird might be another alternative (Based on XUL with the Mozilla Firefox toolkit) iTunes clone.Personally I'm quite happy with rhythmbox since I stream everything off a DAAP server and Banshee was having problems with it for a while. I find rhythmbox has fairly good searching. Its not really a clone of anything afaik.
Except for the fact that the one time I decided to try it, it replaced ALL of my high quality albumn art with crappy low quality hidden versions. Amarok's ui is just so much more natural, and for now, I use foobar2000 set up similar to amarok, displaying my high quality albumn art.

AMAROK > wmp, iTunes, winamp, foobar
