I have just encountered this while testing Kubuntu 14.04 Beta 2. (I booted the amd64 ISO from a USB key, on an Intel-based EFI laptop.)
When started with a click on any audio file in Dolphin, Amarok crashes upon start. When started from the command line (using Konsole), using commands in the form of "amarok <audio-file>", I also get crashes. This was tested with MP3, OGG, FLAC and WAV files stored on an NTFS partition. The same OGG, FLAC and WAV files play just fine using the Dragon video player. (MP3 support is most likely not present in the ISO.) I have not tried the workarounds reported by others here, since I was only testing the ISO without persistence. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to amarok in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1298380 Title: Amarok wont play music files Status in “amarok” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: From today, Amarok will not play any music files.
