Amarok/Manual/AmarokWindow

The Amarok Window

When you first open Amarok, this is what you will see, once the splash screen disappears, and Amarok has fully loaded:

Window Layout

Amarok is organized in four main areas; the toolbar and three panes.

Toolbar

The Toolbar contains the top-level menus and the track-progress bar.

Media Sources Pane

The Media Sources pane offers access to the Local Collection, Remote Collections, Media Devices, the Internet, your File System, Playlists, and Podcasts.

Need a better screenshot that shows the complete Media Sources menu too. I fail at this.

Context Pane

The Context pane is comprised of applets, which offer you information about your music. A connection to the Internet is required for the most useful use of these little applications, which will fetch lyrics, information, photos, videos, and even guitar tabs, depending on what you choose to display.

Playlist pane

The Playlist offers you a fully-configurable way to display and control the music you are playing.
