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 on the left providing
different views: your music collection, a context browser, your playlists, a file browser,
etc. 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, just drag and drop items from any of the sidebar browsers to the playlist
area. 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 playback with the context menu.
