Each application already registers which MIME types it can understand, however 
the ordering can be changed, as you have discovered, through the control 
center.

However, each application also states its "initial preference" in its .desktop 
file.

I guess local modifications, i.e. applied through the control center, override 
this then.

So you could make sure that you do not have any local overrides (stored in 
file profilerc in your local kde config dir, see kde-config --path config) 
and then change the initial preference for Amarok to something high enough.

The application desktop files are located under kde-config --path xdgdata-apps

Cheers,
Kevin
