Amarok on Ubuntu 9.04

I *finally* got amarok working on ubutnu 9.04, it wasn't easier than downgrading to a previous version, but I'm glad it works. I actually used three solutions, so I'm not sure which actually fixed the problem, or if they all contributed a little. I'd try one at a time, they have no side effects:

(Solution 1)
0. kill amarok
1. sudo apt-get install libxine1-all-plugins
2. run amarok & test

(Solution 2)
0. kill amarok
1. sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-xine.
2. sudo apt-get remove phonon-backend-gstreamer.
3. run amarok & test

(Solution 3)
0. kill amarok
1. open a terminal window
2. mkdir ~/.config/kde.org/
3. cd ~/.config/kde.org/
4. wget http://www.fileupyours.com/view/77985/libphonon.conf
5. run amarok & test

Hopefully it'll start working after 1 :)
