\section{\label{ref:PlaybackOptions}Playback}
|
|
The \setting{Playback} sub menu allows you to configure settings
|
|
related to audio playback.
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[Shuffle. ]Alters how Rockbox will select which song to play next.\\
|
|
Options: \setting{Yes}/\setting{No}.

\item[Repeat. ]Configures settings related to repeating of directories or
|
|
playlists.\\

\item[Off. ]The current 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 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 playlist has finished playing, it will
|
|
be shuffled and then repeated.

\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[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 \daps{} 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.
|
|
|
|
\nopt{ondio}{
|
|
\opt{MASCODEC}{The anti-skip buffer can be set to a value between 0 and 7
|
|
seconds.}
|
|
}%
|
|
\opt{ondio}{
|
|
The anti-skip buffer can safely be kept at zero. It will eventually be
|
|
eliminated.
|
|
}%
|
|
\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 queued at the end of the current dynamic playlist
|
|
instead of being played immediately. Pausing and stopping playback is
|
|
disabled as well as skipping songs and launching plugins.
|
|
|
|
\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 (or Vorbis tags).
|
|
\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 \setting{Shuffle} is set to \setting{Yes}.
|
|
Reverts to album mode if \setting{Shuffle} is set to \setting{No}.
|
|
\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.

\item[Beep Volume. ]Controls the volume of the beep that is heard when
|
|
skipping forward or backward between tracks. The beep is disabled when
|
|
set to \setting{Off}.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
\item[Auto-Change Directory. ]Control what Rockbox does when it reaches the end
|
|
of a directory. If \setting{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 playlist.
|
|
\note{You must have the \setting{Repeat} option set to \setting{No} for
|
|
\setting{Auto-Change Directory} to function properly.}
