You should really check your tags. I already see the files are poorly tagged. 
For example, the info for one of the files should be:
	Artist: Leonard Cohen
	Title: Ain't No Cure for Love
To utilize most of Amarok's advanced features, you absolutely have to tag your 
files appropriately. If the album is relatively well known, you can use the 
MusicBrainz's Picard app to automatically tag them correctly. Or edit the 
tags from within Amarok itself.

BTW, if a file does not appear in the collection, then it may be corrupted or 
it just is missing tags. Check this possibility.
