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。 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，浏览标签页显示了一个集成的文件浏览器，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. |
