Re: amarok doesnt play mp3?

To update:

start konsole
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Did you install the package kubuntu-restricted-extras?
You may need to reboot your computer in order for amarok to find the new codecs.

Edit: Does amarok play anything at all (ogg files, etc)? If not, you may be having trouble with pulseaudio. Open pavucontrol and make sure amarok shows up in the Playback tab, and that it not muted, and is playing to the device listed in the Output Devices tab for your sound card.
