界面

默认情况 Amarok 的界面布局有3个窗格。

左侧窗格（媒体源视图）

左侧的媒体源视图是浏览本地收藏和其它服务的地方：最上方的本地音乐是浏览你的本地收藏的主要接口，还可以访问其它媒介比如mp3播放器和CD。还有一个标签是给所有你启用的Internet服务的。这里,你能浏览网络电台和播客的列表；收听/订阅他们，与你的last.fm 帐号互动，在Magnatune之类的在线商店购买音乐或者从Jamendo下载独立音乐人的音乐等等。播放列表标签页允许你建立和管理动态/传统的播放列表和播客。最后，文件浏览标签页显示了一个集成的文件浏览器，Podcasts标签页可以访问订阅的podcast。

中间窗格（环境视图）

This is where all the action is. 窗格包含了3个会动态改变显示的当前播放歌曲的关联信息的小程序（applets）。你可以查看当前音轨的星级，评分，播放次数，这个艺人的其他音轨，音轨的歌词，艺人的维基百科页面等等。这些小程序（applets）可以用窗格底部的部件栏（applet bar）添加，删除或重排。

右侧窗格（播放列表视图）

Amarok has the most configurable playlist of any music player in existence. It puts the power in your hands to shape the playlist any way you see fit. To start you off, there are three pre-configured playlist layouts that you can use as starting points to create the layout that fits your flow the best. You can generate playlist dynamically with various bias or use the Automatic Playlist Generator, shuffle, play at random or repeat, queue tracks and save the existing playlists for later use.

特性

播放音乐 :)

Amarok can support most popular formats for music files. The actual list of formats is dependent on the codecs and audio backend in use on your system. There's also support for traditional playlists — you can create, save and load all the playlists you want.

Device Support

Amarok offers support for a great variety of Media devices such as iPods, MTP and UMS devices.

The button Merge View at the top of the collection lets you merge collections. This means songs from your local collection, audio CD, mp3-player and so on will be shown in one unified collection. It is a toggle switch so you can easily revert to showing the separate sources.

Configurable Context View

The Context view, the centerpiece attraction in Amarok, can automatically fetch contextual information about the currently playing song (such as album art, lyrics or Wikipedia information) from the Internet and display them. This is one of the unique features of the Amarok series.

More Internet Services

Amarok opens the gateway to a rich multimedia experience on the Internet.

Sporting interfaces to services such as Ampache music servers and mp3tunes lockers, it allows you to listen to your music from anywhere in the world.
You can sample and buy music from Magnatune.
Using the Jamendo service, you can listen to and download music from independent artists who can be supported by your donations.
With integrated last.fm functionality, you can scrobble your tracks, use last.fm features like statistics, charts and subscribers can listen to radio streams customized to your music taste — all from Amarok.

And that is just the beginning — you can add even more Internet services using the Script Manager.

Script Manager

Scripts are add-ons that allow you to extend Amarok’s functionality in innovative ways. Using the Script Manager, you can manage these scripts in that it allows you to install/remove or enable/disable scripts you already have. You can also use the Get More Scripts feature to download new scripts submitted by other users.

Cover Manager

You can browse through your music collection using the nifty Cover Manager that displays the album art, download covers from various sources or let Amarok check automatically for covers in the internet.

Rating and scoring

You can show your love for the songs by rating them. Amarok supports ½⋅✩ ratings, too. In addition, Amarok can calculate a score (a sort of guessed rating) depending on metrics such as how often you listen to or skip a song.

Pop-Up Dropper

This is an innovative interface that offers contextual options (such as the ones you see in a right-click menu) that you can "drop" a song into. Grab a track and see the Pop-Up Dropper appear in the context view pane!

Configurable Playlist View

The currently loaded playlist is highly configurable and can show information about the songs in any form you like. If you are used to the Spreadsheet View found in Amarok 1.x series and other music players, you can have that, too! The Playlist View also allows you to save or export the current playlist.

Dynamic Playlists

Amarok allows you to create weighted random playlists that adhere to various criteria exactly (Proportional bias) or approximately (Fuzzy bias). For example, you can create a playlist that will be randomly populated by songs that are rated more than 3 stars and are approximately from around the year 1967!

Replay Gain Support

Amarok supports Replay Gain tag information embedded in files and automatically adjusts the overall volume of the song to a common level.

Hints, Tips and FAQs

If you find that most of your music is recognized by Amarok, but some folders are not properly picked up, open a console and type

touch '''''folder'''''

where folder is the path to the folder that has the problem. Then select Settings -> Configure Amarok in Amarok main window menu, and open Collection -> Rescan Collection page. Your folder should be visible again now.

Warning: this will not work on Windows, as the touch command is specific to Linux and BSD-like systems.
