    To start Amarok, either:
     
    * In the KDE menu -> Multimedia section, click on the Amarok entry
    * Using Krunner: type <keycap>Alt+F2</keycap> and type amarok
     
     
    The first time you use Amarok, a First Start User interface will come up asking you to specify where your Music is located. The default location is $HOME/Music.

    See [[#Telling_Amarok_where_your_music_files_are_located]]
     
    Once you have selected the folder where your music is, Amarok will scan the folder and sub-folders, creating the collection. Depending on the number of tracks and the speed of the location this can take some time.
