Figure 20.1 The amaroK Media Player
Quick Start
On start-up, amaroK scans the folders that are part of your collection for music files.
Although you can use amaroK without building a collection, it is recommended to do
so, because most of the powerful, advanced features are only available with an existing
collection.
The amaroK main window is divided into two parts. The sidebar browsers on the left
contain different views of your music collection and your playlists, a file browser, and
an interface to an iPod. Change the browser by clicking a tab on the far left. The right
part contains the playlist window and, below it, the player (if you have not configured
it to be shown in a separate window).
To play music, first create a playlist. Just drag and drop items from any of the sidebar
browsers to the playlist window. Use Shift or Ctrl to select multiple items. Double-click
an item in the playlist to play it. You can add or delete items from the list during play-
back. Use the icons in the bottom right corner to Undo and Redo changes or to Clear
the entire list.
