I just looked into this one. The command executed is "amarok --cdplay". When I 
try to run that it says: "Amarok is already running!".
So it's an Amarok bug, not Kubuntu.

I've made some Device Action files that adds "Open in File Manager" and 
"Extract Digital Audio with K3b". The latter already existed as a global 
config file but it's Predicate=[StorageVolume.ignored == false AND 
OpticalDisc.availableContent == 'Audio'] doesn't work.
I'll attach them to this mail. Just copy them to 
~/.kde(4)/share/apps/solid/actions and run kbuildsycoca4.
I've also added an action to open Partition Manager when a removeable media is 
attached. Unforetunately Partition Manager doesn't accept a device as argument 
so you'll have to select the device yourself.

Dropbox and my thumb drive had an epic battle. Dropbox won.
