If you follow the Migrating from MySQL Embedded to MySQL Server section
of the MySQL Server article in the amarok wiki[1] you should have no
problem migrating the database. The process relies on the use of the
mysql tools for dumping a database into a file and loading it back.
You need to do the dump from the original system before switching though.
