Delete
Delete the currently playing file. The file will be deleted but the playback of the file will
not stop immediately. Instead, the part of the file that has already been buffered (i.e.
read into the player’s memory) will be played. This may even be the whole track.
Pitch
The
Pitch Screen
allows you to change the rate of playback (i.e. the playback speed
and at the same time the pitch) of your player. The rate value can be adjusted between
50% and 200%. 50% means half the normal playback speed and a pitch that is an octave
lower than the normal pitch. 200% means double playback speed and a pitch that is an
octave higher than the normal pitch.
The rate can be changed in two modes: procentual and semitone. Initially, procentual
mode is active.
The value of the rate is not persistent, i.e. after the player is turned on it will always
be set to 100%.
