Thanks for persevering with me.
I did as you said and it worked up to the point of "sudo apt-get amarok".
I get a message "E: Invalid operation amarok"
Looks like I'm almost there. Any idea what to do now?
Did you do the "sudo apt-get update" before you did the "sudo apt-get amarok"? as it needs to check what apps are available before you do your first install.

Remember in linux spelling/capitalisation (missing brackets ) etc is critical and it's not very helpful with it's error messages, so double check before hitting enter. You'll get used to it eventually

EDIT Googled "linux E: Invalid operation" and found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=988135 check the first reply. Classic mistype caused the error, so your most likely cause
