I would /really/ recommend switching to the amarok-svn ebuild (it's not an official package and I can't remember where I got it - try google). I'm not usually one for running CVS/SVN software (some programs segfault enough when they're supposedly stable), but I made an exception for this and wasn't disappointed (if anything, it's more stable than the 1.2.* versions and has a bunch of new features)
