I also experience this bug. Or at least a bug similar to it. I installed Feisty ( Desktop 32-bit ) from iso I downloaded from Kubuntu homepage.
When I start Amarok I get to screen that says "Hello Amarok User..." The cursor is spinning and spinning and nothing happens. I have to terminate it. ( Output later in comment ) I have tried deleting ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/ and ~/.kde/share/config/ Didn't help. I tried running install-mp3 Didn't install, it just said something like "This didn't work, install libxine1-ffmpeg manually" I ran "sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg" which worked fine. But amarok still won't start. Could be different bug than explained above but I posted it here just in case. Feel free to move my post. If there is anything I can do to help you find the problem please let me know.
