I went into system settings - file associations and added amarok to the
list of files to play mp3 files and moved it to the bottom of the list.
Next I checked mimeapps.list and found the following two lines.
From mimeapps.list
audio/x-mp3=kde4-amarok.desktop
audio/x-mpeg=kde4-amarok.desktop
Then I went back to file associations and removed amarok from the list
of files to play mp3 files. I clicked on an mp3 file and vlc played
it. I went back to look at mimeapps.list and these two lines were still
there.
From mimeapps.list
audio/x-mp3=kde4-amarok.desktop
audio/x-mpeg=kde4-amarok.desktop
