2 \section{\label{ref:WPS}While Playing Screen}
3 The While Playing Screen (WPS) displays various pieces of information about the
4 currently playing audio file.
6 \opt{lcd_bitmap}{%
7 The appearance of the WPS can be configured using WPS configuration files.
8 The items shown depend on your configuration -- all items can be turned on
9 or off independently. Refer to \reference{ref:wps_tags} for details on how
10 to change the display of the WPS.

177 \subsection{\label{ref:peak_meter}Peak Meter}
178 The peak meter can be displayed on the While Playing Screen and consists of
179 several indicators.
180 \opt{recording}{
181 For a picture of the peak meter, please see the While
182 Recording Screen in \reference{ref:while_recording_screen}.
185 \begin{description}
186 \item [The bar:]
187 This is the wide horizontal bar. It represents the current volume value.
188 \item [The peak indicator:]
189 This is a little vertical line at the right end of the bar. It indicates
190 the peak volume value that occurred recently.
191 \item [The clip indicator:]
192 This is a little black block that is displayed at the very right of the
193 scale when an overflow occurs. It usually does not show up during normal
194 playback unless you play an audio file that is distorted heavily.
195 \opt{recording}{
196 If you encounter clipping while recording, your recording will sound distorted.
197 You should lower the gain.
199 \note{Note that the clip detection is not very precise.
200 Clipping might occur without being indicated.}
201 \item [The scale:]
202 Between the indicators of the right and left channel there are little dots.
203 These dots represent important volume values. In linear mode each dot is a
204 10\% mark. In dBFS mode the dots represent the following values (from right
205 to left): 0~dB, {}-3~dB, {}-6~dB, {}-9~dB, {}-12~dB, {}-18~dB, {}-24~dB, {}-30~dB,
206 {}-40~dB, {}-50~dB, {}-60~dB.
207 \end{description}
209 \subsection{\label{sec:contextmenu}The WPS Context Menu}
210 Like the context menu for the \setting{File Browser}, the \setting{WPS Context Menu}
211 allows you quick access to some often used functions.
213 \subsubsection{Playlist}
214 The \setting{Playlist} submenu allows you to view, save, search and
215 reshuffle the current playlist. To change settings for the
216 \setting{Playlist Viewer} press \ActionStdContext{} while viewing the current
217 playlist to bring up the \setting{Playlist Viewer Menu}. In this menu, you
218 can find the \setting{Playlist Viewer Settings}.
220 \subsubsection{Playlist Viewer Settings}
221 \begin{description}
222 \item[Show Icons.] This toggles display of the icon for the currently
223 selected playlist entry and the icon for moving a playlist entry
224 \item[Show Indicies.] This toggles display of the line numbering for
225 the playlist
226 \item[Track Display.] This toggles between filename only and full path
227 for playlist entries
228 \item[Save Current Playlist.] Allows the current playlist to be saved as
229 a \fname{.m3u8} playlist file
230 \end{description}
233 \subsubsection{Playlist catalog}
234 \begin{description}
235 \item [View catalog.] This lists all playlists that are part of the
236 Playlist catalog. You can load a new playlist directly from this list.
237 \item [Add to playlist.] Adds the currently playing file to a playlist.
238 Select the playlist you want the file to be added to and it will get
239 appended to that playlist.
240 \item [Add to new playlist.] Similar to the previous entry this will
241 add the currently playing track to a playlist. You need to enter a name
242 for the new playlist first.
243 \end{description}
245 \subsubsection{Sound Settings}
246 This is a shortcut to the \setting{Sound Settings Menu}, where you can configure volume,
247 bass, treble, and other settings affecting the sound of your music.
248 See \reference{ref:configure_rockbox_sound} for more information.
250 \subsubsection{Playback Settings}
251 This is a shortcut to the \setting{Playback Settings Menu}, where you can configure shuffle,
252 repeat, party mode, skip length and other settings affecting the playback of your music.
254 \subsubsection{Rating}
255 The menu entry is only shown if \setting{Gather Runtime Information} is
256 enabled. It allows the asignment of a personal rating value (0 -- 10)
257 to a track which can be displayed in the WPS and used in the Database
258 browser. The value wraps at 10.
260 \subsubsection{Bookmarks}
261 This allows you to create a bookmark in the currently-playing track.
263 \subsubsection{\label{ref:trackinfoviewer}Show Track Info}
264 \screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-id3-viewer}{The track info viewer}{}
265 This screen is accessible from the WPS screen, and provides a detailed view of
266 all the identity information about the current track. This info is known as
267 meta data and is stored in audio file formats to keep information on artist,
268 album etc. To access this screen, %
269 \opt{RECORDER_PAD,IRIVER_H100_PAD,IRIVER_H300_PAD,IRIVER_H10_PAD,%
270 SANSA_C200_PAD,SANSA_E200_PAD,SANSA_FUZE_PAD}{
271 press \ActionWpsIdThreeScreen. }%

273 GIGABEAT_PAD,GIGABEAT_S_PAD,MROBE100_PAD,SANSA_CLIP_PAD,PBELL_VIBE500_PAD}{press
274 \ActionWpsContext{} to access the \setting{WPS Context Menu} and select
275 \setting{Show Track Info}. }%
276 \opt{RECORDER_PAD,PLAYER_PAD,ONDIO_PAD}{Use \ButtonLeft\ and \ButtonRight\
277 to move through the information.}%
279 \subsubsection{Open With...}
280 This \setting{Open With} function is the same as the \setting{Open With}
281 function in the file browser's \setting{Context Menu}.
283 \subsubsection{Delete}
284 Delete the currently playing file. The file will be deleted but the playback
285 of the file will not stop immediately. Instead, the part of the file that
286 has already been buffered (i.e. read into the \daps\ memory) will be played.
287 This may even be the whole track.
289 \opt{pitchscreen}{
290 \subsubsection{\label{sec:pitchscreen}Pitch}
292 The \setting{Pitch Screen} allows you to change the rate of playback
293 (i.e. the playback speed and at the same time the pitch) of your
294 \dap. The rate value can be adjusted
295 between 50\% and 200\%. 50\% means half the normal playback speed and a
296 pitch that is an octave lower than the normal pitch. 200\% means double
297 playback speed and a pitch that is an octave higher than the normal pitch.
299 The rate can be changed in two modes: procentual and semitone.
300 Initially, procentual mode is active.
302 \opt{swcodec}{
303 If you've enabled the \setting{Timestretch} option in
304 \setting{Sound Settings} and have since rebooted, you can also use
305 timestretch mode. This allows you to change the playback speed
306 without affecting the pitch, and vice versa.
308 In timestretch mode there are separate displays for pitch and
309 speed, and each can be altered independently. Due to the
310 limitations of the algorithm, speed is limited to be between 35\%
311 and 250\% of the current pitch value. Pitch must maintain the
312 same ratio as well as remain between 50\% and 200\%.
315 The value of the \opt{swcodec}{rate, pitch and speed}\nopt{swcodec}{rate}
316 is not persistent, i.e. after the \dap\ is turned on it will
317 always be set to 100\%. \opt{swcodec}{ However, the rate, pitch and speed
318 information will be stored in any bookmarks you may create
319 (see \reference{ref:Bookmarkconfigactual}) and will be restored upon
320 playing back those bookmarks.}

389 Rockbox handles function buttons in a different way to the Archos software.
390 \ButtonFOne\ is always bound to the menu function, while \ButtonFTwo\ and
391 \ButtonFThree\ enable two quick screens.
393 \ButtonFTwo\ displays some browse and play settings which are likely to be
394 changed frequently. This settings are Shuffle mode, Repeat mode and the Show
395 files options
397 Shuffle mode plays each track in the currently playing list in a random order
398 rather than in the order shown in the browser.
400 Repeat mode repeats either a single track (One) or the entire playlist (All).
402 Show files determines what type files can be seen in the browser. This can be
403 just MP3 files and directories (Music), Playlists, MP3 files and directories
404 (Playlists), any files that Rockbox supports (Supported) or all files on the
405 disk (All).
407 See \reference{ref:PlaybackOptions} for more information about these
408 settings.

416 \ButtonFThree\ controls frequently used display options.
418 Scroll bar turns the display of the Scroll bar on the left of the screen on
419 or off.
421 Status bar turns the status display at the top of the screen on or off.
422 Upside down inverts the screen so that the top of the display appears nearest
423 to the buttons. This is sometimes useful when storing the \dap\ in a pocket.
424 Key assignments swap over with the display orientation where it is logical
425 for them to do so.

428 settings.
