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

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
