Okno konfiguracji programu Amarok
Przed wersją 2.4.1	Amarok 2.4.1

Ogólne

Na powyższym zrzucie ekranu pokazane są Ustawienia ogólne, które można modyfikować. Domyślne ustawienia mogą różnić się, w zależności od dystrybucji; na przykład Ekran powitalny jest czasami wyłączony. Po umieszczeniu kursora myszy nad opcjami wyświetli się podpowiedź wyjaśniająca poszczególne ustawienia.

Ustawienia ogólne:

Opcja	Podpowiedź
Pokazuj ekran powitalny przy uruchamianiu	Odhacz, aby włączyć ekran powitalny podczas uruchamiania Amaroka
Pokazuj ikonę na tacce systemowej	Odhacz, aby wyświetlać ikonę Amaroka na tacce systemowej.
Automatycznie pobierz okładki	Odhacz, aby włączyć automatyczne pobieranie okładki z internetu.

Automatycznie przewiń listę odtwarzania do bieżącego utworu	Odhacz, aby sprawić, że lista odtwarzania przewinie się tak, że bieżący utwór jest zawsze widoczny.
Pokaż pasek nastroju w suwaku postępu	Pasek nastroju umożliwia Ci wizualne poruszanie się po Twojej muzyce. Pamiętaj jednak, że ta funkcja wymaga zewnętrznego narzędzia: Generator paska nastroju lub skryptu.
Styl paska nastroju	Wybierz styl wyświetlania nastroju.

Przy włączaniu paska nastroju pamiętaj o następujących wymaganiach: pasek nastroju będzie wyświetlany tylko w przypadku ścieżek oznaczonych nastrojami. Więcej informacji o pasku nastroju znajdziesz w atrykule: Pasek nastroju.

Kolekcja

To okno wyświetla system plików w formie struktury drzewa, nazywanej Katalogami kolekcji. Zaznaczenie katalogu zawsze obejmuje katalogi podrzędne. Te katalogi będą przeszukane pod kątem mediów do utworzenia twojej kolekcji. Możesz kliknąć prawym przyciskiem na katalogu, aby go przeszukać ponownie, jeżeli był on poprzednio zaznaczony.

Opcje kolekcji:

Opcja	Podpowiedź
Fully Rescan Entire Collection	Rescan your entire collection. This will not delete any statistics.
Import	Imports ratings and/or statistics from older Amarok versions, the batch scanner, or media players.
Scan folders recursively (requires full rescan if newly checked)	If selected, Amarok will read all subfolders.
Watch folders for changes	If selected, the collection folders will be watched for changes. The watcher will not notice changes behind symbolic links.
Write statistics to file	Write play-changing statistics (e.g. score, lastplayed, playcount) as tags back to the file.
Write covers to file	Write changed covers back to the file. This will replace existing embedded covers.
Enable character set detection in ID3 tags	If selected, Amarok will use Mozilla's Character Set Detector to attempt to automatically guess the character set used in ID3 tags.

Import Statistics

This option allows you to import statistics, e.g. ratings and scores from either

• an older Amarok 1.4.x version (from SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL databases)
• from iTunes

It does not import statistics from an Amarok 2.x database, so if you want to merge an older 2.x database version, you will need to do this by hand.

Formerly Internet Services before Amarok 2.4.1, now Plugins

See the Plugins section.

Playback

Configure the playback options, as well as the KDE multimedia framework Phonon.

Option	Tooltip
Fadeout on stop	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.
Fadeout duration	The length of the fadeout, in milliseconds.
Resume playback on start	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 Xine 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 Test 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 Xine, 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.

For information on codecs and playing mp3s see the mp3 information page.

Notifications

Option	Tooltip
Use On-Screen Display	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.
Duration	The time in milliseconds for which to show the OSD. The value must be between 500 ms and 10000 ms.
Screen	Allows you to choose the screen that should display the OSD if you have a multiscreen setup. Default is 0.
Translucent	Check to enable translucency if supported by your desktop system.
Font scale	(choose the size of the font in the OSD)
Don't show when a fullscreen application is active	Do not show On-Screen Display if another application is focused and running in fullscreen mode.
Use custom colors	Check to enable custom colors for the On-Screen Display text.
Text color	Click to select the color of the OSD text.
Use system notifications	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
Use external MySQL Database	Check to enable the use of an external database.
Server	Enter the name of the existing MySQL server
Port	Enter the port number to access the server. Default is port 3306.
Username	Enter the username to access the database with full access privileges.
Password	Enter the password for the default user.
Database	Enter the name of the database. Default preset is amarokdb.

You can find more information about the External Database here.
