Installing Amarok
Amarok was removed from stable after a Qt4 package cleanup when Amarok appeared to be abandoned. However, the Debian team has begun reintegrating it into Debian stable. As of writing, Amarok is only available in Trixie (testing) and Sid (unstable).
Please see this Debian wiki page for instructions on how to switch over from stable to testing. After completing the upgrade process, you can run
sudo apt install amarok
And Amarok will install.
Phonon Backends
Amarok plays media via the Phonon multimedia framework. You can choose either GStreamer (recommended) or VLC Phonon backend.
GStreamer
apt-get install phonon4qt5-backend-gstreamer
VLC
apt-get install phonon4qt5-backend-vlc
For more on Phonon, see the Phonon page.
