Playing m4a (aac) files with Amarok

Hi,
I'm trying to move from MacBook Pro/Mac OS 10 to Fedora 18. The last bastion of conversion is my iTunes library- filled with un-DRM'd CD rips (...all my own 80's alternative disks).

I cannot open them with Amarok. It says "Amarok requires an additional plugin to decode this file" MPEG-4 AAC decoder

It asks if I want to search for it, I say "Continue", and I a window titled "Install GStreamer Resources". Inside: "No results found", and "Could not find plugin in any configured software source"

My only option is to close the window.

I downloaded gstreamer1-plugins-good.x86_64 in an attempt to fix it, and no joy. This is a fresh Fedora 18 install on a Thinkpad Laptop, using the KDE windowing system. It seems there are a bunch of GStreamer packages needed for this Amarok, which are already installed in the system (as shown from rpm -qa).

Not sure where to go next. Googling has proven fruitless... from my vantage point, AAC support on Amarok is broken out of the box and I don't know where to go to fix it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

...btw, I tried Clementine, too, and it complains that gstreamer is missing a plugin. Seems like it's all gstreamer's fault. :-( But I still don't know how to fix that.
