3 The While Playing Screen (WPS) displays various pieces of information about the
4 currently playing audio file.

7 The appearance of the WPS can be configured using WPS configuration files.
8 The items shown depend on your configuration -- all item can be turned on

164 The peak meter can be displayed on the While Playing Screen and consists of
165 several indicators.
166 \opt{recording}{
167 For a picture of the peak meter, please see the While
168 Recording Screen in \reference{ref:while_recording_screen}.
171 \begin{description}
172 \item [The bar:]
173 This is the wide horizontal bar. It represents the current volume value.
174 \item [The peak indicator:]
175 This is a little vertical line at the right end of the bar. It indicates
176 the peak volume value that occurred recently.
177 \item [The clip indicator:]
178 This is a little black block that is displayed at the very right of the
179 scale when an overflow occurs. It usually does not show up during normal
180 playback unless you play an audio file that is distorted heavily.
181 \opt{recording}{
182 If you encounter clipping while recording, your recording will sound distorted.
183 You should lower the gain.
185 \note{Note that the clip detection is not very precise.
186 Clipping might occur without being indicated.}
187 \item [The scale:]
188 Between the indicators of the right and left channel there are little dots.
189 These dots represent important volume values. In linear mode each dot is a
190 10\% mark. In dbfs mode the dots represent the following values (from right
191 to left): 0db, {}-3db, {}-6db, {}-9db, {}-12db, {}-18db, {}-24db, {}-30db,
192 {}-40db, {}-50db, {}-60db.

195 \subsection{\label{sec:contextmenu}The WPS Context Menu}
196 Like the context menu for the \setting{File Browser}, the \setting{WPS Context Menu}
197 allows you quick access to some often used functions:
199 \subsubsection{Playlist}
200 The \setting{Playlist} submenu allows you to view, save, search and
201 reshuffle the current playlist. To change settings for the
202 \setting{Playlist Viewer} press \ActionStdMenu{} while viewing the playlist
203 to bring up the \setting{Playlist Viewer Menu}.
205 \subsubsection{Playlist Viewer Menu}
206 \begin{description}
207 \item[Show Icons.] This toggles display of the icon for the currently
208 selected playlist entry and the icon for moving a playlist entry
209 \item[Show Indicies.] This toggles display of the line numbering for
210 the playlist
211 \item[Track Display.] This toggles between filename only and full path
212 for playlist entries
213 \item[Save Current Playlist.] Allows the current playlist to be saved as
214 a \fname{.m3u8} playlist file
215 \end{description}
218 \subsubsection{Playlist catalog}
219 \begin{description}
220 \item [View catalog.] This lists all playlists that are part of the
221 Playlist catalog. You can load a new playlist directly from this list.
222 \item [Add to playlist.] Adds the currently playing file to a playlist.
223 Select the playlist you want the file to be added to and it will get
224 appended to that playlist.
225 \item [Add to new playlist.] Similar to the previous entry this will
226 add the currently playing track to a playlist. You need to enter a name
227 for the new playlist first.
228 \end{description}
230 \subsubsection{Sound Settings}
231 This is a shortcut to the \setting{Sound Settings Menu}, where you can configure volume,
232 bass, treble, and other settings affecting the sound of your music.
233 See \reference{ref:configure_rockbox_sound} for more information.
235 \subsubsection{Playback Settings}
236 This is a shortcut to the \setting{Playback Settings Menu}, where you can configure shuffle,
237 repeat, party mode, study mode and other settings affecting the playback of your music.
239 \subsubsection{Rating}
240 The menu entry is only shown if \setting{Gather Runtime Information} is
241 enabled. It allows the asignment of a personal rating value (0 -- 10)
242 to a track which can be displayed in the WPS and used in the Database
243 browser. Press \ButtonRight{} to increment the value. The value wraps at 10.
245 \subsubsection{Bookmarks}
246 This allows you to create a bookmark in the currently-playing track.
248 \subsubsection{\label{ref:trackinfoviewer}Show Track Info}
249 \screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-id3-viewer}{The track info viewer}{}
250 This screen is accessible from the WPS screen, and provides a detailed view of
251 all the identity information about the current track. This info is known as
252 meta data and is stored in audio file formats to keep information on artist,
253 album etc. To access this screen, %
254 \opt{PLAYER_PAD,RECORDER_PAD,IRIVER_H100_PAD,IRIVER_H300_PAD,IRIVER_H10_PAD}{
255 press \ActionWpsIdThreeScreen. }%

258 \setting{Show Track Info}. }%
259 \opt{RECORDER_PAD,PLAYER_PAD,ONDIO_PAD}{Use \ButtonLeft\ and \ButtonRight\
260 to move through the information.}%
262 \subsubsection{Open With...}
263 This \setting{Open With} function is the same as the \setting{Open With}
264 function in the file browser's \setting{Context Menu}.
266 \subsubsection{Delete}
267 Delete the currently playing file.
269 \nopt{player}{
270 \subsubsection{\label{sec:pitchscreen}Pitch}
272 The \setting{Pitch Screen} allows you to change the pitch and the playback
273 speed of your \dap. The pitch value can be adjusted between 50\% and 200\%.
274 50\% means half the normal playback speed and the pitch that is an octave lower
275 than the normal pitch. 200\% means double playback speed and the pitch that
276 is an octave higher than the normal pitch.
278 \opt{masf}{
279 Changing the pitch can be done in two modes: procentual and semitone.

311 Changing the pitch can be done in three modes: procentual, semitone and
312 timestretch. Initially (after the \dap{} is switched on), procentual mode is active.
314 Timestretch mode allows you to change the playback speed of your recording without
315 affecting the pitch, and vice versa. To access this you must enable the \setting{Timestretch}
316 option in \setting{Sound Settings} and reboot.

357 Rockbox handles function buttons in a different way to the Archos software.
358 \ButtonFOne\ is always bound to the menu function, while \ButtonFTwo\ and
359 \ButtonFThree\ enable two quick screens.
361 \ButtonFTwo\ displays some browse and play settings which are likely to be
362 changed frequently. This settings are Shuffle mode, Repeat mode and the Show
363 files options
365 Shuffle mode plays each track in the currently playing list in a random order
366 rather than in the order shown in the browser.
368 Repeat mode repeats either a single track (One) or the entire playlist (All).
370 Show files determines what type files can be seen in the browser. This can be
371 just MP3 files and directories (Music), Playlists, MP3 files and directories
372 (Playlists), any files that Rockbox supports (Supported) or all files on the
373 disk (All).
375 See \reference{ref:PlaybackOptions} for more information about these
376 settings.

388 Scroll bar turns the display of the Scroll bar on the left of the screen on
389 or off.
391 Status bar turns the status display at the top of the screen on or off.
392 Upside down inverts the screen so that the top of the display appears nearest
393 to the buttons. This is sometimes useful when storing the \dap\ in a pocket.
394 Key assignments swap over with the display orientation where it is logical
395 for them to do so.
