amarok-1.4.4 lost my collection and it wouldn't rescan. Downgrading to 1.4.3-r1 has brought it back.

me too. It's since I update to mysql5, but also amarok 1.4.3-r1 dosn't work for me.
This is a bug in amarok as it has issues with mysql5 currently. As of tonight, they still have problems with SVN versions too. So it may be a while before upstream has a fix for this.
Please report upstream.
There is a fix that worked for me, as this is really a mysql upgrade issue wanted to post the link to the fix here as it might be missed otherwise. Amarok bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140888 Direct Link to SQL code to fix problem. http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=19489&action=view
