Almost everyone who loved the 1.4 Amarok hates the new Amarok 2. Even I didn't like the new buttons.
Unfortunately Kubuntu comes with Amarok 2 by default. However if you prefer Amarok 1.4 you can install it by follwing these instructions:
Add the PPA to your sources by creating a new file for the Amarok PPA:
gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/amarok.list
Then in that new file add the following two lines:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Add the key for the PPA:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \
0x1d7e9dd033e89ba781e32a24b9f1c432ae74ae63
Now update your sources, remove Amarok2 and install Amarok1.4:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove amarok
sudo apt-get install amarok14
