[SOLVED]Amarok doesn't play

Hello,

When I used to Gnome, my music player was Rhythmbox. In kde it works, but the GUI is a bit ugly (obviously, kde doesn't use gtk). And so I have installed Amarok, I think is the default music player.
But it doesn't work: for example, I choose a song in my Music folder, right button, open with Amarok, left click on the big play button, but nothing. Maybe I can't use it.
However kmplayer works the same...
How I can solve?
Grant.

Maybe you're missing some extra Codecs?

Befor I have only gstreamer, and so now I have tried to install pacman -S gstreamer0.10-plugins. And it works .
But there are 40MiB of stuff: I would to use only the required dependencies of kmplayer and amarok. Is possible? How?

Switch to phonon-vlc, then you will only need to install vlc
