\section{\label{ref:PlaybackOptions}Playback Options}
|
|
The \setting{Playback Options} submenu allows you to configure settings
|
|
related to audio playback.
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[Shuffle: ]Alters how Rockbox will select which next song to play.\\
|
|
Options: \setting{On}/\setting{Off}.
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Repeat: ]Configures settings related to repeating of directories or
|
|
playlists.\\
|
|
Options: \setting{Off} / \setting{All} / \setting{One} / \setting{Shuffle}
|
|
\nopt{ondiosp,ondiofm}{\setting{/A--B}}:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Off: ]The current directory or playlist will not repeat
|
|
when it is finished.
|
|
\note{If you have the \setting{Auto change directory} option set to
|
|
\setting{Yes}, Rockbox will move on to the next directory on your
|
|
hard drive. If the \setting{Auto Change Directory} option is set to
|
|
\setting{No}, playback will stop when the current directory or
|
|
playlist is finished.}
|
|
%
|
|
\item[All: ]The current directory or playlist will repeat when it is
|
|
finished.
|
|
\note{This option does \emph{not} shuffle all files on your \dap.
|
|
Rockbox is playlist oriented. When you play a song, a directory, or
|
|
an album, Rockbox creates a playlist and plays it. Thus, to shuffle
|
|
all songs on the \dap, you need to create a playlist of all songs on
|
|
the player, and play that playlist with shuffle mode set to
|
|
\setting{All}.}
|
|
%
|
|
\item[One: ]Repeat one track over and over.
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Shuffle: ]When the current directory or playlist has finished
|
|
playing, it will be shuffled and then repeated.
|
|
%
|
|
\nopt{ondiosp,ondiofm}{
|
|
\item[A--B: ]Repeats between two user defined point within a track,
|
|
typically used by musicians when attempting to learn a piece of music.
|
|
This option is more complicated to use that the others as the \dap\
|
|
must first be placed into A--B repeat mode and then the start and end
|
|
points defined.\\
|
|
\fixme{
|
|
Hold Play and press Left --- Sets Start Point (A)\\
|
|
Hold Play and press Right --- Sets End Point (B)\\
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
\item[Play Selected First: ]This setting controls what happens when you
|
|
select a file for playback while shuffle mode is on. If the
|
|
\setting{Play Selected First} setting is \setting{Yes}, the file you
|
|
selected will be played first. If this setting is \setting{No}, a random
|
|
file in the directory will be played first.
|
|
|
|
\item[Resume: ]Rockbox can be configured to start playing automatically
|
|
when you turn on the \dap. If the resume function is set to start
|
|
automatically playing, Rockbox will start at the point where you last
|
|
turned off the \dap. The options for the \setting{Resume} function are:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[Yes: ]Rockbox will unconditionally try to resume.
|
|
\item[No: ]Rockbox will not resume.
|
|
\emph{If resume is set to \setting{No}, Rockbox will start in the
|
|
\setting{File Browser}.}
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
\note{Earlier versions of Rockbox had an ``Ask'' setting, which would ask whether
|
|
to resume when the jukebox was turned on. This setting has been eliminated because it
|
|
was redundant. If resume is set to ``Yes'' pressing
|
|
\opt{PLAYER_PAD,RECORDER_PAD,IAUDIO_X5_PAD,IPOD_4G_PAD}{\fixme{FixMe}}
|
|
\opt{ONDIO_PAD}{\fixme{FixMe}}
|
|
\opt{IRIVER_H100_PAD,IRIVER_H300_PAD}{\ButtonOn}
|
|
on the \dap\ will resume from the point where the \dap\ was stopped before shutdown.
|
|
|
|
\item[Fast-Forward/Rewind: ]How fast you want search (fast forward or rewind) to accelerate
|
|
when you hold down the button. \setting{Off} means no acceleration. \setting{2x/1s} means double
|
|
the search speed once every second the button is held. \setting{2x/5s} means double the
|
|
search speed once every 5 seconds the button is held.
|
|
|
|
\item[Anti-Skip Buffer: ]This setting allows you to control how much music is stored
|
|
in the \dap's memory whilst playing a song, acting as a buffer against shock or
|
|
playback problems. The \dap\ transfers the selected amount of the forthcoming song
|
|
into its memory at high speed whilst you are playing the song. It keeps a ``rolling''
|
|
buffer, which keeps feeding more of the forthcoming song into memory as it goes along.
|
|
If the \dap\ is knocked, shaken or jogged heavily while Rockbox is trying to read the
|
|
hard drive, Rockbox might not be able to read the drive. Rockbox will retry over and
|
|
over again until it succeeds, but may eventually reach the end of the memory buffer.
|
|
When that happens, Rockbox must stop playing and wait for more data from the disk,
|
|
which causes your music to skip. The anti-skip setting tells Rockbox how much extra
|
|
buffer memory to spare to handle this situation. This setting therefore allows you to
|
|
reduce the chances of there being a gap or pause during playback of songs.
|
|
|
|
\opt{MASCODEC}{The anti-skip buffer can be set to a value between 0 and 7 seconds.}
|
|
\opt{SWCODEC}{The anti-skip buffer can be set to various values between
|
|
5 seconds and 10 minutes.}
|
|
|
|
\note{Having a large anti-skip buffer tends to use more power, and may
|
|
reduce your battery life. It is recommended to always use the lowest
|
|
possible setting that allows correct and continuous playback.}
|
|
|
|
\item[Fade On Stop/Pause: ]Enables and disables a fade effect when you
|
|
pause or stop playing a song. If the Fade on Stop/Pause option is
|
|
set to \setting{Yes}, your music will fade out when you stop or pause playback,
|
|
and fade in when you resume playback.
|
|
|
|
\item[Party Mode: ]Enables unstoppable music playback. When new songs are
|
|
selected, they are added to the end of the current dynamic playlist
|
|
instead of being played immediately.
|
|
The \fixme{PLAY} and \fixme{STOP} buttons are disabled.
|
|
|
|
\opt{SWCODEC}{
|
|
\item[Crossfade: ]
|
|
This setting enables a cross-fader. At the end of a song, the song will fade out as the
|
|
next song fades in, creating a smooth transition between songs.\\
|
|
Options:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[Enable Crossfade: ]If set to \setting{Off}, crossfade is disabled. If set to \setting{Always},
|
|
songs will always crossfade into one another. If set to \setting{Shuffle}, crossfade is
|
|
enabled when the shuffle feature is set to \setting{Yes}, but disabled otherwise. If set to
|
|
track skip only, tracks will only crossfade when you manually change tracks.
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Fade In Delay: ]The ``fade in delay'' is the length of time between when the crossfade
|
|
process begins and when the new track begins to fade in.
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Fade In Duration: ]The length of time, in seconds, that it takes your music to fade in.
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Fade Out Delay: ]The ``fade out delay'' is the length of time between when the crossfade
|
|
process begins and when the old track begins to fade out.
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Fade Out Duration: ]The length of time, in seconds, that it takes your music to fade out.
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Fade Out Mode: ]If set to \setting{Crossfade}, one song will fade out and the next song will
|
|
simultaneously fade in. If set to \setting{Mix}, the ending song will continue to play as normal
|
|
until its end, while the starting song will fade in from under it. \setting{Mix} mode is not
|
|
used for manual track skips, even if it is selected here.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
\note{The crossfade setting is particularly effective when the player is set on shuffle.}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
\opt{SWCODEC}{
|
|
\item[Replaygain: ]This allows you to control the replaygain function.
|
|
The purpose of replaygain is to adjust the volume of the music played
|
|
so that all songs (or albums, depending on your settings) have the
|
|
same apparent volume. This prevents sudden changes in volume when
|
|
changing between songs recorded at different volume levels.
|
|
For replaygain to work, the songs must have been processed by a program
|
|
that adds replaygain information to the ID3 tags (vorbis tags
|
|
respectively).
|
|
\note{APEv2 tags are not currently supported.}
|
|
|
|
Options for replaygain are:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[Enable Replaygain: ]This turns on/off the replaygain function.
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Prevent Clipping: ]Avoid clipping of a song's waveform.
|
|
If a song would clip during playback, the volume is lowered for
|
|
that song. Replaygain information is needed for this to work.
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Replaygain type: ]Choose the type of replaygain to apply:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[Album Gain: ]Maintain a constant volume level between
|
|
albums, but keep any intentional volume variations between
|
|
songs in an album. (If album gain value is not available,
|
|
uses track gain information).
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Track Gain: ]Maintain a constant volume level between
|
|
tracks. If track gain value is not available, no replaygain
|
|
is applied.
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Track Gain if Shuffling: ]Maintains a constant volume
|
|
between tracks if shuffle mode is selected. Reverts to album
|
|
mode if shuffle is off.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
%
|
|
\item[Pre-Amp: ]This allows you to adjust the volume when replaygain
|
|
is applied. Replaygain often lowers the volume, sometimes quite
|
|
much, so here you can compensate for that. Please note that a
|
|
(large) positive pre-amp setting can cause clipping, unless
|
|
prevent clipping is enabled. The pre-amp can be set to any
|
|
decibel (dB) value between -12dB and +12dB, in increments of 0.1{}dB.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
\item[Auto Change Directory: ]Control what Rockbox does when it reaches the end
|
|
of a directory. If Auto Change Directory is set to \setting{Yes}, Rockbox will
|
|
continue to the next directory. If \setting{Auto Change Directory} is set to \setting{No},
|
|
playback will stop at the end of the current directory.
|
|
\note{You must have the \setting{Repeat} option set to \setting{No} for \setting{Auto Change Directory}
|
|
to function properly.}
