Well, it sounds like you're using Ubuntu. Historically ubuntu doesn't give a s**t about KDE and all of it's applications. In fact, my experience with KDE on ubuntu was so horrible I've never tried it since... but i've *heard* that it's better on other distros, so this could be just another case of ubuntu not paying any attention to the KDE side of things.
I use WinAMP and only WinAMP as my media player when using Windows (Which, admittedly, is rare these days), and I've never used the Media Library feature.

It's faster than any of the native-C or C++ media players I've used, so yea, it is pretty snappy ;-)

Banshee will be released on OS X and Windows soon. Nobody wants to release something half-baked, and currently the developers are focusing on Linux.
