I'm a big user of old Amarok and I still using in Lucid; here the how-to compile from source; based on this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1307737 (thx Seegorkesolot) with some new hints and modified patches.
This works on Ubuntu (Gnome version) without the official repository version of Amarok installed.
