== Starting Amarok ==
 
To start Amarok, either:
 
* In the KDE menu -> Multimedia section, click on the Amarok entry
* Using Krunner: type <keycap>Alt+F2</keycap> 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]]
 
Once you have selected the folder where your music is, Amarok will scan the folder and sub-folders, creating the collection. Depending on the number of tracks and the speed of the location this can take some time.
 
== Closing Amarok ==
 
If you want to close Amarok:
 
* Type <keycap>Ctrl+Q</keycap> when you are in the Amarok window, or
* 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:
