Music can be heard in nearly any environment. In most cases it serves for relaxation purposes, one of the main instruments of enjoying it being your home computer. Since this became available, various applications struggled to provide ease of access and abundance of features to meet any demand. Amarok is one of them and comes equipped with a stylish interface and a multitude of customizable features.
The first look manages to make a good impression, going under the hood unveiling the possibility to customize the visual aspect with color themes that suit your style. Features are cleverly spread throughout the main window, with playback buttons and progress bar in the upper part, a well-structured playlist, as well as other customizable elements.
On the functionality side, the application is capable of playing a multitude of media formats, including video. However, there is no implemented preview section, thus only the sound being played. Leaving this aside, you can load nearly anything from common MP3 files, to WAV, OGG, AU, FLV and more.
What's more, your workspace can be populated with a decent amount of applets. These don't require any downloads or installations, coming in the basic package. You can choose from, and not limited to info, photos, albums, labels, lyrics, as well as a Wikipedia page to show you in-depth info about the playing artist.
Custom playlists can also be created and imported. The application lets you easily drag desired items over the playlist which you can then save, arrange as you see fit or randomize. Integrated hotkey support is also a plus, since the application can stay hidden in the system tray while you can scroll through songs by simply pressing a few trigger buttons.
All things considered, Amarok is not the best of its kind, but nor is it far, with a complete feature set put at your disposal to create playlists and fully enjoy your favorite tunes. System resources used is also not something to worry about so if you're looking to replace your music player, this application is worth a try.
