Amarok

Amarok ist ein Musik-Manager der KDE-Community

Amarok is a free, cross-platform, versatile, powerful and feature-rich music player. It allows easy collection management, automatically retrieves information and covers, and has built-in compatibility with services such as Jamendo, Last.fm, Magnatune, and Librivox. It also can be completely customized, so users can modify its look and layout so it fits their needs. The current stable release is version 2.8.

Benutzeroberfläche

Amarok verwendet standardmäßig eine Benutzeroberfläche die in 3 Bereiche aufgeteilt ist.

Der linke Bereich (Musikquellen)

The Media Sources pane on the left is the place where you access your local collection as well as other services: Local Music on top, which is the primary interface to your local collection and connected media such as mp3 players and CDs.
There is a section for all Internet Services that you have enabled. Here, you can browse listings of radio stations and podcasts; listen/subscribe to them, interact with your last.fm account, purchase music from online stores such as Magnatune and download independent artists' music from Jamendo and more.
The Playlists section allows you to create and manage Dynamic Playlists, access your Saved Playlists as well as the Automatic Playlist Generator.
The Files section displays an integrated file browser and the Podcasts section will let you access your podcast subscriptions.

Der mittlere Bereich (Kontext)

This is where all the information is displayed. The central pane contains applets that dynamically change to display context information about the track that is currently playing.
You can see the rating, score and play count of the Current Track applet or the last played tracks if nothing is playing, the Lyrics of the song and the Wikipedia page on the artist.
More applets can be added, removed or rearranged using the settings icon on the Applet Bar at the bottom of the pane.

Der rechte Bereich (Wiedergabeliste)

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.

Funktionen

Musikwiedergabe

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

Geräteunterstützung

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.

einstellbare Anzeige von Begleitinformationen

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.

Weitere Internet Dienste

Amarok öffnet Ihnen die Tür zu einem reichhaltigen Multimedia-Erlebnis im Internet.

Und das ist erst der Anfang — Sie können sogar weitere Internet-Dienste mit Hilfe der Skript-Verwaltung hinzufügen.

Information

There are many scripts available through the scripts manager. Go to Settings -> Configure Amarok... -> Scripts -> Manage Scripts and browse the list of available scripts. You can narrow the choices by entering a phrase in the search box. When you have found a script that you want to try, just click the Install button next to it. The next time you run Amarok, you will find the script listing a number of streams in the Internet section of the Media Sources pane.

Skript-Verwaltung

Scripts are add-ons that allow you to extend Amarok’s functionality in innovative ways. You use the Settings -> Configure Amarok -> Scripts option to open the Amarok Add-on Installer window.

Cover-Verwaltung

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.

Bewertung und Punkte

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-Ablage

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!

Konfigurierbare Wiedergabeliste

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.

Dynamische Wiedergabelisten

Amarok ermöglicht es Ihnen, gewichtete zufällige Wiedergabelisten zu erstellen, die verschiedene Kriterien exakt oder in etwa einhalten. Zum Beispiel können Sie eine Wiedergabeliste erstellen, die zufällig durch die Songs, die mit mehr als 3 Sternen bewertet sind und ungefähr aus dem Jahr 1967 sind, gefüllt wird!

Unterstützung von "Replay Gain"

Amarok unterstützt die in Musik-Dateien eingebetteten Wiedergabe-Lautstärke / Replay Gain Informationen und passt automatisch die Lautstärke des Liedes an die anderen Stücke in der Wiedergabeliste an.
