Eureka!

This post will cover the installation of Amarok, because in my experience it hasn’t been seemless. It is expected that you have the Universe and Multiverse repositories enabled in Synaptic.

1. Open Synaptic, and click on the Sound & Video category.
2. Check Amarok to be installed and click Apply.
3. Once done, click the Advanced button.
4. Search for xine.
5. Mark the package libxine-extracodecs for installation and click Apply. It will automatically include its necessary dependancies.

You should now be able to listen to most audio formats, including streaming music.

Enjoy!
