If you don't know how to add a repository, you might also have a look at the Kubuntu Community Help, there you can find a step-by-step guide on how to manage the Kubuntu repository list.

Stable version: Amarok 2.2

Kubuntu 9.10 the "Karmic Koala" includes Amarok 2.2 as its default Audio player!

Jaunty packages are not planned at the moment. You can use NEON if you wish.

Ubuntu (Gnome) users can install Amarok with the following command: 

sudo apt-get install amarok

Staying current

Kubuntu has it's own PPA for new KDE and Amarok releases during a releases support cycle. You may want to enable these to ensure you have the latest versions of KDE and Amarok available.

In a terminal or terminal emulator (such as Konsole): 

sudo echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu karmic main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu karmic main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 2836CB0A8AC93F7A
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

If you use a version of Kubuntu other than Karmic simply replace "karmic" above with your release.

Phonon Backends

Xine and GStreamer are both available as Phonon backends in Kubuntu. Xine is currently recommended, but you may find GStreamer works better for you.

Xine (recommended) 

sudo aptitude install phonon-backend-xine

GStreamer 

sudo aptitude install phonon-backend-gstreamer

For more on Phonon, see the Phonon page.

MP3 Playback

To enable MP3 support, see MP3 on Kubuntu.
