Show Menubar
Clicking this option will hide the menu bar. The only way to show the menu bar again is by pressing Control-M (as you can't de-select the menu option when no menu bar is shown).
Replay Gain Mode
The replay gain mode will change the volume depending on meta information of the track. (see Wikipedia entry for replay gain ) You can switch the replay gain mechanism off, use a track based replay gain or use the album based replay gain.
Configure Shortcuts..
Selecting this menu entry will show a configuration dialog allowing you to change and define new keyboard shortcuts. A frequent use is to activate the multimedia keys for keyboards that have those.
Configure Amarok..
The configuration dialog is split in several sub-pages that allow the configuration of certain aspects of the Amarok behaviour.
General
This pane has general configuration options.
- Show splash-screen on startup
- will just do what it says.

Amarok will try to fetch covers for albums that currently don't have one. It will only try to fetch those covers once for every restart and only when the cover is requested by Amarok (e.g. because it's the currently played album)
