Yes all of the songs show up and I have tried every way to copy them to 
the right side playlist.
I even tried "OK".  Amarok takes a few seconds and then only puts 20 
files in the playlist right side panel.

The reason I think it is in the /home/donn directory is because it has 
not not been renewed by the upgrade of the complete system.

I removed everything in /home/donn/.kde4/ that pertained to amarok and 
tried "amarok --debug" and I get the same results.  That is <CTRL> A and 
then copy and paste
