That I did:
1. Go to http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Download:Windows page
2. Downloaded and run http://winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/i ... latest.exe file under admin acc.
3. Choose amarok app and install it
4. Add KDEDIRS Path into system invironment variables and restart windows.
5. Running amarok from start menu and watch nothing.
Sometimes a mouse cursor was watched with clocks and the end.

Help please. Under windows a normal player isn't. Use amarok because it's a best one. Use systems since ~1995 year.. winamp, wmp, foobar - don't like it.
A "bookmarks" conception in the amarok. A file performance as directory three (left panel). A foobar have bookmark plug-in too, but it's have bugs. A bookmarks deleted itself after sometime.

Can I run Amarok under windows?

Thanks.

be sure to run amarok as admin on first run
and have a look at my inprogress picture documentation.

was running it as admin. all're ok. Amarok was started.
Then I close it (generally) and run as normal user (not admin) and it was not again running.

Must I run that app as admin everytime?

And. When I run that app as admin I watch that:
"Could not start process Cannot talk to klauncher: The name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any .service files"

you can change the C:\ in to D:\ ect and it gets into that dir, but says C:\ infront (just ignore that)

also you can change amarok's appearence with KDE-settings and make it look how you want it to
