Thank you for the information.

What can cause problems are id tags that are specific to iTunes and/or
Musicbrainz. Amarok only uses the id3 specification, so you should
check if you have specific tags for iTunes and/or Musicbrainz. Another
potential issue could be DRM for files from earlier iTunes downloads.

You can use any advanced tagging software like kid3 or puddletag to
edit those or just use eyed3 on the command line. Hope this helps.
