This is simply because the current applets will not work, as that part has not been ported yet. It will build without it for the time being. You are welcome to give a hand in porting the plasma applets to QML

Please subscribe to the Amarok-devel@kde.org mailing list and report your findings there.

Thanks for the quick response.
Happy to help out, but right now I'm just getting things set up.
Not sure what everybody is using for development, but am planning to use QtCreator
Cheers,
Leo
