9. Media Player
The Media Player on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is a program you can
use to play audio files as well as listen to the audio for some video file
formats. The Media Player plays the following formats, ac3, asf, asx, m3u,
mp2, mp3, MP 4, mpa, mpg, ogg, pls, wav, wax, wma, flac, midi and wmv.
Note: you cannot see the video for "avi" and "wmv" files, however, you may
listen to the audio contained in these formats.
You can control the playing of audio files using either Braille keyboard
commands or the media buttons on the front panel of the Braille Sense U2
QWERTY. The Media Player can play back audio recordings and books as
well as music files.
9.1 Using the media buttons
Near the center of the front panel on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is a
group of 5 buttons with varying shapes. These buttons can be used to
control the Media Player. Moving from left to right, the buttons are: "Back",
"Record", "Stop", "Play/Pause", and "Forward". These buttons are used for
playing and recording music or voice quickly and easily.
The media buttons can control media playback, DAISY content playback, or
FM radio operation, depending on the position of the Media Mode switch,
located to the left of the media buttons. Slide this switch to the right-most
position, "Media Mode", to control media playback.
If the "Play/Pause" button is pressed while you are using another program on
the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, the unit opens the Media Player and begins
playing the files in the most recently played list. If there are no files in the
playlist, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY says, "There are no items to display".
"Back", "Stop", and "Forward" are available after audio playback is started.
