Amarok 2 and MySQL 5.1 March 15th, 2009
In the first few releases of Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) Amarok has had issues trying load correctly with MySQL. This since has been resolved and if you are running the latest releases for 9.04 you should be fine.
However, if you have any MP3 files you will not be able to play them and Amarok will not tell you why except for a:
"Playback stopped"
or
"Could not build filelist"
That will come up only if you Amarok via command line.
The issue?
MP3 support of course.
At the command line:
sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg
Restart Amarok and you are good to go.
I have done this and Rhythmbox plays the MP3s fine. Amarok does not see the mp3s and I am lost.
