A related question: is using gstreamer as the phonon backend supposed to
work with Amarok?

In my case, Phonon was configured to use gstreamer (I didn't even had
the xine backend installed) and I've installed gstreamer-plugins-bad
and gstreamer-plugins-base, but Amarok refused to play any ogg or mp3
file. The ogg files weren't even appearing in the directory listing
at the "files" tab.

After installing and setting up the xine backend and
xine-lib-extras-nonfree, Amarok is now able to play my files.


Now I need to figure out why the songs don't appear in the "collection"
tab. I have all artists and albuns listed, but when I click the "+" to
open an album, there are no songs listed under it. Dragging the album
to the playlist doesn't work, either. The only way to get anything added
to my playlist was dragging files from the "files" tab.

I did an "update collection" and "rescan collection", but it didn't help.
