KDE's Amarok 3.0 Music Player Released After Six Year Hiatus - Now Ported To Qt5
Released back in March of 2018 was the Amarok 2.9 music player for this KDE project. Shipping today is finally Amarok 3.0 as the first major release in six years and now ported to Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5.

What about Elisa? I was under the (potentially mistaken) assumption that Elisa was the successor of Amarok.
Elisa is just the latest (and most actively developed) addition to the long list of music players developed under the KDE umbrella.
I guess Strawberry or Clementine are the real successors.
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).
Si, correcto. Strawberry is solid.

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.
