Hi, if it's any help "Amarok" does work for me in Unstable, but it as 
several dependencies in Unstable so you may have to pull many packages.
Otherwise I find "Clementine" a good replacement, and since Amarok port 
to QT5 looks very slow at best it might be a good idea to consider 
alternate solutions anyway.

Hope it helps.
