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.
