Quick Start Guide

A sidebar with dierent views is displayed in the main window of Amarok: your local
music collection, some addresses for playing back podcasts or streams from the In-
ternet, your playlists and a le browser. In the middle section, the context browser,
information on the current title, the Wikipedia page for interpreters and the song
text is displayed as standard. You can see the current playlist in the right hand section
of the window. To do so, drag the desired elements from any browser of the sidebar
into the area for the playlists. To play back an element, double-click on it in the
playlist.
If your music les have the correct identiers (and contain at least information on
the artist and the album), dierent useful functions of Amarok are available to you.
To automatically retrieve images from Amazon for the album cover, select Extras >
Cover management and click on Retrieve missing cover. The next time you play back
a piece of music from this album, the cover is displayed in the context browser and
on the display. For further information on the artist, click in the middle section on
the Wikipedia button Amarok will then start searching for the relevant Wikipedia ar-
ticle.
To congure the use of another module (or other Amarok functions) select Set up >
Amarok settings.
