It's stored in a bunch of files in ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/mysqle. Frankly, all I can say is, "good luck". I lost all my database info a couple of weeks ago and in the end (after far too many hours) I gave up trying to get amarok to recover the information correctly from my backup. Instead I went to an older backup that used sqlite and imported that into celementine (which is based on amarok 1.4) and am now using that instead of amarok. Life is too short to use software that isn't fail-safe. I'm sure amarok wasn't *supposed* to lose all the information, but the mere fact that there aren't safeguards that stop it from happening tells me I should use something else. I never could find an easy way to extract the data from the mysqle database that amarok uses by default nowadays, hence the recovery from an old sqlite database.
