# 2.1. Opening songs

You can open a song by some different ways. First, you can select `Open...` from the `File` menu, then you are presented with a standard open dialog, with which you can select the song you wish to open.

You can drag a file from a KFM window and drop it in the KMid window. You can also Drag&Drop multiple songs at the same time.

If you specify a song in the command line when running KMid, it will also be opened.

And the last way is by selecting the song from the list of songs of the active collecion.
