After doing a bit of config, setting the audio device, the music source,
and selecting the database (sqlite, mysql, postgresql) for amarok to use
I managed to get it to play mp3s without any specific configs.  

It required me to stop and start amarok a couple times to get the
backend database working but once that was done it "just works".
