On first start, amaroK launches a ‘First-Run Wizard’, which helps set up amaroK.
In the first step, configure your preferred look and feel for amaroK. Choose to
display player and playlist in separate windows (see Figure 13.4 on the current
page) or combine their functionality in one single window. In the second step,
determine where amaroK should look for your music collection. amaroK scans
these folders for playable media. By default, amaroK is configured to scan the se-
lected folders recursively (to include all their subdirectories in the scan), monitor
changes to the content of the selected directories, and import any playlists located
there. All the settings made with the wizard can be modified later by starting the
wizard again with ‘Tools’ ➝ ‘First-Run Wizard’.
