Starting Amarok
To start Amarok, either:
- In the KDE menu -> Multimedia section, click on the Amarok entry
- Using Krunner: type Alt+F2 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.
If you select "No" in this dialog, you will be presented with another one which allows you to select your music folder:
See #Telling_Amarok_where_your_music_files_are_located

- Select the Quit option in the "Amarok menu, or
- Right-click on the blue wolf icon in the System Tray at the bottom of your screen. You will be presented with the following:
