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:

If you log out of your session or shut down your computer without quitting Amarok, some of your settings will not be saved.
