Well, apparently you don't have the debugging symbols for Amarok
installed as the backtrace indicates. What distribution do you use?
Depending on the distribution the package is called amarok-dbg or
amarok-debug, in Gentoo you need to install Amarok with the debug
flag, see also http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

But you are lucky, this is a known bug so no need to paste another
backtrace. While the bug is solved already in the upcoming Amarok 2.5,
to be released next week, you can workaround the problem by erasing
the amarok* files located in $HOME/.kde/share/config/ (depending on
the distribution this might be in $HOME/.kde4/share/config/
