Налаштовування Amarok
On first start, some basic configuration is done; see also Quick Start Guide: Getting Started. But there is more under the hood.
To access the Configuration Menu, go to
and see the following dialog:
Загальне
In the screenshot above, see some General Options you can set. Depending on the distribution, the default settings can vary. When hovering over the options with the mouse pointer, a tooltip will show to explain the individual settings.
Загальні параметри:
Параметр | Підказка |
---|---|
Check to enable the Amarok system tray icon. | |
Check to enable the automatic retrieval of cover art from the internet. | |
Check to enable animations when context applets collapse. | |
Check to make the playlist scroll so the current track is always visible. | |
The Moodbar makes it possible to navigate in your music visually. Please note that this feature requires the external Moodbar Generator tool, or a script. | |
Choose the mood display style. |
When you enable the Moodbar, be aware of the following requirements: the Moodbar will only display if your tracks have been tagged with moods. For more about the Moodbar, refer to: Moodbar.
Збірка
This dialog shows your file system in a tree structure, called Collection Folders. Selecting a folder always includes its subfolders. These folders will be scanned for media to make up your collection. You can right-click on a folder to individually rescan it, if it was previously selected.
Параметри збірки:
Параметр | Підказка |
---|---|
Rescan your entire collection. This will not delete any statistics. | |
Imports ratings and/or statistics from older Amarok versions, the batch scanner, or media players. | |
If selected, Amarok will read all subfolders. | |
If selected, the collection folders will be watched for changes. The watcher will not notice changes behind symbolic links. | |
Whether Amarok should transcode tracks when they are copied or moved to Local Collection. |
Імпортування статистичних даних
За допомогою цього пункту ви можете імпортувати статистичні дані, наприклад оцінки або кількість відтворень
- зі старої версії Amarok 1.4.x (з баз даних SQLite, MySQL або PostgreSQL)
- з iTunes
Можливості імпортувати дані з бази даних Amarok 2.x не передбачено. Отже, якщо вам потрібно додати дані з бази даних версії 2.x, вам доведеться зробити це вручну.
Metadata
This dialog will allow you to configure the settings for metadata handling. This is a separate page starting with Amarok 2.7
Metadata options:
Option | Tooltip |
---|---|
Check to write play-changing statistics as tags back to the audio files. | |
Check to write changed covers back to the audio files. This will replace existing embedded covers. Select a value from the drop-down list to set the maximum size of the cover. | |
If checked, Amarok will use Mozilla's Character Set Detector to attempt to automatically guess the character sets used in ID3 tags. If your tags are correct, it is more safe to leave this option turned off. |
Statistics Synchronization
This dialog will allow you to keep statistics of your collections synchronized. Make sure to only check collections between which you want to synchronize metadata.
Statistics Synchronization options:
Option | Tooltip |
---|---|
Check to synchronize ratings between collections. | |
Check to synchronize first played dates between collections. | |
Check to synchronize last played dates between collections. | |
Check to synchronize playcounts between collections. | |
Check to synchronize labels between collections. |
Відтворення
Configure the playback options, as well as the KDE multimedia framework Phonon.
Option | Tooltip |
---|---|
If checked, Amarok will slowly fade the volume of the playing track on stop or at the end of the playlist, or stop playback immediately. | |
If checked, Amarok will slowly fade the volume of the playing track on pausing the current track. | |
The length of the fadeout, in milliseconds. | |
If checked, Amarok will prevent the computer from being suspended will a track is playing. | |
If checked, Amarok will pause playing of the current track when the computer is about to suspend. | |
If checked, Amarok will resume playback where you left it the last session -- just like a tape-player. |
Configuring Phonon
Phonon is the multimedia framework used by Amarok. It was created to allow KDE 4 to be independent of any single multimedia framework such as GStreamer or VLC and to provide a stable API for KDE 4's lifetime. As an added bonus, it simplifies development by providing a simple API that works across different platforms such as Windows and OS X.
The result of all this for you, the user, is that you can choose the multimedia framework that works best for you. This is usually pre-configured by your distribution.
Playback problems in Amarok are typically not Amarok issues, but rather Phonon issues, as Amarok doesn't handle sound directly anymore.
Device Preference tab
Depending on your OS and distribution, you may need to use ALSA, OSS, PulseAudio, or something else as your default playback device. Find one that works for you with the
button and apply to all types of output. If you would like different types of output to go with different devices, this is possible as well.Speaker Setup tab
Should you wish to change the standard speaker setup, here is the place to do it.
Backend tab
Depending on your operating system you may see options such as Gstreamer, VLC, or DS9 (Windows) here. The recommended phonon-backend for Linux users is VLC or Gstreamer.
If you don't see VLC or Gstreamer, install the package for it. For most distributions the package for VLC, for example, would be phonon-backend-vlc.
Each backend comes with its own codecs, so depending on the backend you choose you will need to also download the codecs, as most distributions don't ship them for legal reasons.
Notifications
,
Option | Tooltip |
---|---|
Check to enable the On-Screen Display. The OSD briefly displays track data when a new track is played. Once checked, the OSD will be visible on your screen and you can drag it to the location you prefer. | |
The time in milliseconds for which to show the OSD. The value must be between 500 ms and 10000 ms. | |
Allows you to choose the screen that should display the OSD if you have a multiscreen setup. Default is 0. | |
Check to enable translucency if supported by your desktop system. | |
(choose the size of the font in the OSD) | |
Do not show On-Screen Display if another application is focused and running in fullscreen mode. | |
Check to enable custom colors for the On-Screen Display text. | |
Click to select the color of the OSD text. | |
Check to use the system notification. This can vary depending on your desktop system and/or distribution. |
Database
The default database is already set to use embedded MySQL. For most users there is no need to configure an external database, as there is no change in performance. If you want to share your database or use it remotely, you can configure an external MySQL database.
Amarok expects the external database and user account to already exist. The user also requires full access to the database. You MUST restart Amarok after changing these settings.
If your database is not already set up, you can use the SQL commands in the field at the bottom to do so, after replacing the password with the correct one.
Option | Tooltip |
---|---|
