Amarok é un reprodutor de música libre, multiplataforma, versátil, potente e conta con moitas funcionalidades. Permite xestionar facilmente as coleccións, descarga as portadas dos álbums e a informacións dos temas de maneira automática, e ten integrada a compatibilidade con servizos coma Jamendo, Last.fm, Magnatune ou Librivox. Ademais pode personalizarse completamente, os usuarios poden cambiar o seu aspecto e a distribución dos seus elementos para adaptalo ás súas necesidades. A súa última versión estable é a 2.3.1.

Para quen estea a usar Amarok por vez primeira, quizais sexa boa idea botarlle unha ollada á guía para principiantes.

A interface

Amarok ten unha interface predeterminada con tres paneis.

O panel esquerdo (Orixes de medios)

Dende o panel das orixes de medios situado á esquerda accédese á colección local, así coma a outros servizos. A primeira sección corresponde á Música local, a interface principal para acceder á colección local e os dispositivos conectados tales coma reprodutores con memoria USB ou CDs. A segunda sección xestiona os Servizos da Internet activos. A través desta sección pódese navegar por listas de estacións de radio, escoitar ou subscribirse a podcasts, enviar e recibir información de last.fm (quen teña unha conta), mercar música de tendas dixitais coma Magnatune , descargar música baixo licenzas Creative Commons de Jamendo, e moito máis. A sección de Listas de reprodución permite crear e xestionar Listas de reprodución dinámicas, así como acceder ás Listas de reprodución gardadas e ao Xerador automático de listas de reprodución. A sección de Ficheiros contén un navegador de ficheiros integrado, e a sección de Podcasts permite acceder ás subscricións a podcast existentes.

O panel central (Vista de contexto)

Aquí é onde se amosa toda a información. O panel central ten tres trebellos que cambian de maneira dinámica para amosar información relativa á pista que se estea a reproducir. Pode ver a valoración, a puntuación e mailo reconto de reproducións no trebello de Pista actual ou as últimas pistas reproducidas en caso de que non se estea a reproducir ningunha, a Letra da canción e mailo artigo sobre o intérprete na Galipedia. Pódense engadir, borrar e reorganizar os trebellos mediante a barra de trebellos, situada na parte inferior do panel.

O panel dereito (visualización da lista de reprodución)

Amarok conta coa lista de reprodución que máis se pode personalizar de todas as dos reprodutores de música que existen. Permítelle adaptar a lista completamente ás súas necesidades e gustos. Existen tres disposicións predefinidas que pode usar como puntos de partida para crear a disposición que máis se axuste aos seus gustos persoais. Pode xerar listas de reprodución dinámicas de varios xeitos ou empregar o xerador automático de listas de reprodución, reproducir ao chou ou repetir, poñer pistas na cola ou mesmo gardar as listas de reprodución para poder empregalas en calquera outro momento.

Funcionalidades

Reprodución de música

Amarok can support most popular formats for music files. The actual list of formats is dependent on the codecs and audio backend in use on your system. There's also support for traditional playlists — you can create, save and load all the playlists you want.

Device Support

Amarok offers support for a great variety of Media devices such as iPods, MTP and UMS devices.

The button Merge View at the top of the collection lets you merge collections. This means songs from your local collection, audio CD, mp3-player and so on will be shown in one unified collection. It is a toggle switch so you can easily revert to showing the separate sources.

Configurable Context View

The Context view, the centerpiece attraction in Amarok, can automatically fetch contextual information about the currently playing song (such as album art, lyrics or Wikipedia information) from the Internet and display them. This is one of the unique features of the Amarok series.

More Internet Services

Amarok opens the gateway to a rich multimedia experience on the Internet.
  • Sporting interfaces to services such as Ampache music servers and mp3tunes lockers, it allows you to listen to your music from anywhere in the world.
  • You can sample and buy music from Magnatune.
  • Using the Jamendo service, you can listen to and download music from independent artists who can be supported by your donations.
  • With integrated last.fm functionality, you can scrobble your tracks, use last.fm features like statistics, charts and subscribers can listen to radio streams customized to your music taste — all from Amarok.

And that is just the beginning — you can add even more Internet services using the Script Manager.

Script Manager

Scripts are add-ons that allow you to extend Amarok’s functionality in innovative ways. Using the Script Manager, you can manage these scripts in that it allows you to install/remove or enable/disable scripts you already have. You can also use the Get More Scripts feature to download new scripts submitted by other users.

Cover Manager

You can browse through your music collection using the nifty Cover Manager that displays the album art, download covers from various sources or let Amarok check automatically for covers in the internet.

Rating and scoring

You can show your love for the songs by rating them. Amarok supports ½⋅✩ ratings, too. In addition, Amarok can calculate a score (a sort of guessed rating) depending on metrics such as how often you listen to or skip a song.

Pop-Up Dropper

This is an innovative interface that offers contextual options (such as the ones you see in a right-click menu) that you can "drop" a song into. Grab a track and see the Pop-Up Dropper appear in the context view pane!

Configurable Playlist View

The currently loaded playlist is highly configurable and can show information about the songs in any form you like. If you are used to the Spreadsheet View found in Amarok 1.x series and other music players, you can have that, too! The Playlist View also allows you to save or export the current playlist.

Dynamic Playlists

Amarok allows you to create weighted random playlists that adhere to various criteria exactly (Proportional bias) or approximately (Fuzzy bias). For example, you can create a playlist that will be randomly populated by songs that are rated more than 3 stars and are approximately from around the year 1967!

Replay Gain Support

Amarok supports replay gain tag information embedded in files and automatically adjusts the overall volume of the song to a common level.

Rediscover your music!

Hints, Tips and FAQs

If you find that most of your music is recognized by Amarok, but some folders are not properly picked up, open a console and type

touch folder

where folder is the path to the folder that has the problem. Then select Settings -> Configure Amarok in Amarok main window menu, and open Collection -> Rescan Collection page. Your folder should be visible again now.
