Luckily for you guys, there was just a blog post written by an Amarok developer about a fix for this issue [1]. Coming soon in Amarok 2.2 (or SVN if you're running that) the database will be converted to utf8 internally. This should hopefully fix some of the issues being experienced with character sets, collation, searching, and sorting.
If you would like to try running a nightly version of the next Amarok, try Project Neon. Otherwise, please report back when 2.2 comes out about whether this bug is fixed or not. Thanks!
