Bug Description
Binary package hint: amarok
As the title says amarok in Jaunty is indeed broken. First, there is no option to install amarok 1. I believe in the direction of amarok 2 but it is not anywhere near close enough to replace 1.XX.
A few issues:
I can't import my music list, mysql to new amarok style fails entirely. Not one single song is imported correctly.
Most of the plugins we are all used to do not exist anymore in amarok 2. Similar artists? A thing of the past. The wikipedia plugin for amarok 2 is sad, great it connects to wikipedia but it is no where near on par with the old version.
Formats previously supported don't import, I would at least expect this but none of my flacs show up. Sure I can play them from the file area but it doesn't find them in a scan (bug??).
I am confused as to why it was decided amarok2 is ready to replace amarok1 when so many things are missing. We had 1.XX packages still working fine lets keep those for now (or at the very least let people install them!) until amarok 2 offers the same functionality.

I'd just like to reiterate the fact that i rescanned my whole collection and many albums are just completely missing. These are mp3s, Amarok has supported those for ages and yet it doesn't find them. I am reduced to using the file browsing side of the application to find songs that are actually in the scanned folders.
