albums. As all music is sorted into an album in some way, this is an opportunity to play your
whole music library from beginning to end!
Gapless playback
For WAV and FLAC files as well as for CD playback the OPUS and MELODY recognize if tracks
are meant to be jointed – such as e.g. in an Opera where one scene reaches into the next – and
will play back the audio tracks as if they were one as intended.
Screens during playback
Once you are playing back a song or movement two screens are used to show you all relevant
information about your music. When you first come to a track as part of your selection process,
a first screen shows as much metadata as is available about the music. It serves to confirm you
have arrived at what you were looking for with the whole range of metadata and album artwork,
it shows the sound quality, your personal rating if you’ve added one, which track it is as part of
its original album, and which part it is of your current selection.
Sound quality is determined by a combination of bit depth, sample rate and bit rate:
•
One bar: compressed audio of low quality
•
Two bars: compressed audio of acceptable quality
•
Three bars: CD quality, either in FLAC lossless encoding or WAV
•
Four bars: HD music of higher resolution than the CD standard, in general with a sample
rate of 96 kHz and a bit depth of 24, either in FLAC lossless encoding or WAV
