UPDATE: Apparently this is fixed in Trunk and the next release (2.2.2) will no longer require a reset of the database.
When I upgrade my Debian Sid machines' Amarok, often I will get issues with my music not being categorized properly. Artists and albums get mis-filed and some of my music seems to disappear.
While this isn't a good fix because it removes data about your tags and ratings, the fastest fix is to start over and rebuild your database.
Make sure Amarok is completely closed when you do this.
In a file manager or on the command line, change to your home directory's (~) Amarok database folder:
and delete all of the files in there:
Then restart Amarok and check your settings; they should be the same and your database should rebuild itself. If it doesn't, pick the Tools menu > Update Collection to rescan your music.
