Playback Settings

7.3 Play Selected First
This setting controls what happens when you select a file for playback while shuffle mode
is on. If the
Play Selected First
setting is
Yes
, the file you selected will be played
first. If this setting is
No
, a random file in the directory will be played first.
7.4 Fast-Forward/Rewind
These settings control the speed and acceleration during fast forward and rewind. The
setting
FF/RW Min Step
controls the initial speed and
FF/RW Accel
controls the
acceleration.
7.5 Anti-Skip Buffer
This setting controls how early Rockbox starts refilling the music buffer from the hard
drive when playing. A longer Anti-Skip Buffer helps prevent skips in music playback if
Rockbox has trouble reading from the disk. This can happen if the player is knocked,
shaken or jogged heavily while Rockbox is trying to read the hard drive.
The anti-skip buffer can be set to a value between 0 and 7 seconds.
Note:
Having a large anti-skip buffer tends to use more power, and may reduce your
b
battery life. It is recommended to always use the lowest possible setting that allows
correct and continuous playback.
7.6 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
Yes
, your music will fade out when you stop or pause
playback, and fade in when you resume playback.
7.7 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.
7.8 Auto-Change Directory
Control what Rockbox does when it reaches the end of a directory. If
Auto-Change
Directory
is set to
Yes
, Rockbox will continue to the next directory. If
Auto-Change
Directory
is set to
No
, playback will stop at the end of the current playlist. Using
the
Random
feature requires you to first generate a folder list via the Random Folder
Advance Configuration plugin (see section
11.4.13
(page
114
)).
