I think he misunderstood the use of the import functionality. It is not to
import your collection from amarok 1.x, but rather to import your
/statistics/ from 1.x. So if you have an empty collection, and you import
from 1.x, you'll only see tracks that had statistics, as that's what's been
added to your database. You need to have amarok scan your music files to
actually see them all--the import will just add your stats.

iirc...
