Show tray icon: enables the display of the system tray icon.
Flash tray icon: enables animation of the system tray icon.
Show player window (like XMMS): Turns on the XMMS-like Player Window. When un-checked, only the Playlist Window, which resembles a display mode similar to the Juk interface, is shown.
Use Moodbar: only visible when Amarok is compiled with moodbar support. This turns on the experimental moodbar support.
Make Moodier: only visible when Amarok is compiled with moodbar support. It changes the color scheme used for the moodbar.
Store Mood data files with music: only visible when Amarok is compiled with moodbar support. When enabled, this option allows saving of .mood files in the same location as the corresponding audio file. When disabled, the .mood files are saved within the Amarok settings directory; usually ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/moodbar/.
Default size of cover previews: allows adjusting the size of the album cover image in the Context Browser.
External web browser: allows choosing what Amarok uses to open external links via a drop-down menu listing the installed browsers.
Use another browser: allows you to specify the location to a browser not listed in the above menu.
In the Playlist-Window Options section you can configure playlist behavior.
Remember current playlist on exit: check this if you want to save your current playlist when you exit Amarok and reload it the next time.
Manually saved playlists use relative path: check this box to have Amarok save playlists with the location of audio file with respect to the location of the playlist. When unchecked Amarok will save the exact location to the audio files in the playlist.
Keep active song visible on track change: this option automatically scrolls the Playlist, when a track changes, to ensure that the currently playing track is always visible.
Switch to Context Browser on track change: used to change to the Context Browser tab if it isn't active when Amarok starts playback of a new track.
Show statusbar: enables the Amarok statusbar in the Playlist Window.
