Amarok is the killer app. Its simplistic design and integration with Last.fm makes it an incredible music player. It has all the recommendations and dynamic playlists, shows lyrics and also gets the artists information from wikipedia. But an internet connection is required for all the features to work.
Now if you are running KDE, then Amarok uses the proxy settings of Konqueror. The problem comes if you use Amarok in Gnome. It fails to detect the proxy settings. But its surprisingly easy to set proxy settings.
Clean all the proxy settings in Amarok’s configuration page.
Edit ~/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc and add the following at the end of the file.
[Proxy Settings][$i]
ProxyType=1
httpProxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:port/
httpsProxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:port/
ftpProxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:port/
Save the file and restart Amarok.
