1.	Where can I get support for Amarok?
	There are several options. Often times problems you have with the initial install of Amarok are best answered by experts of your particular Unix or Linux distribution. You may seek help from fellow users and developers at the Amarok forum and the IRC channel at irc.freenode.net channel #amarok. Note Bugzilla is not a place to seek support. Please do enter a bug if you are serious about helping fix a bug in Amarok itself.
2.	When I start Amarok, I see an empty playlist. How do I actually get tracks in there?
	Simple. Use the File Browser on the left side to navigate to the desired directory. Then drag the files into the Playlist part on the right.
3.	Where is the"Home" tab?
	To avoid interface-clutter "Home" tab has been transformed into "Statistics" tool, available under Tools->Statistics.
4.	Is there a way to set up amount of information that "Context" borwser shows?
	Yes, use the right mouse button menu anywhere on "Context" browser to modify it.
5.	Why are the stars and numbers in the "Context" browser are out of sync?
	The meaning of those symbols has changed in Amarok 1.4 "Fast Forward": stars represents the user-defined rating, while numbers shows calculated score.
6.	Clicking on stars in "Context" browser does not work! How do I rate a song?
	To rate a track you need a "Rating" column in playlist. Click with the right mouse button on playlist title, and choose Add Column->Rating. Click anywhere inside "Rating" column to set up rating for a track. You can also use shortcuts [Win]+[1-5] to quickly rate a song, with Amarok running in the background.
7.	How do I remove tracks from the Playlist?
	Select the files you want to remove, and press Del key on your keyboard. Or right-click the selection and choose Remove Selected from pop up menu.
8.	How can I load a playlist?
	Just drag and drop the playlist file into the Playlist, like you would do with any other file. It's that simple!
9.	How can I save the current playlist?
	The Save playlist button is next to Add Media button in the Playlist Toolbar. Just click it!
10.	There are no visualizations in the visualizations dialog.
	You probably don't have xmms-config installed, reconfigure and build after installing the appropriate xmms-devel package. You also may want to install the latest version of libvisual, which has some ultra fancy visualizations.
11.	Where's the equalizer?
	The Equalizer Window can be found in the right mouse button menu. You can also find it in the Menubar by selecting Tools->Equalizer.
