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 item 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.

131 \subsection{\label{ref:peak_meter}Peak Meter}
132 The peak meter can be displayed on the While Playing Screen and consists of
133 several indicators.
134 \opt{recording}{
135 For a picture of the peak meter, please see the While
136 Recording Screen in \reference{ref:while_recording_screen}.
139 \begin{description}
140 \item [The bar:]
141 This is the wide horizontal bar. It represents the current volume value.
142 \item [The peak indicator:]
143 This is a little vertical line at the right end of the bar. It indicates
144 the peak volume value that occurred recently.
145 \item [The clip indicator:]
146 This is a little black block that is displayed at the very right of the
147 scale when an overflow occurs. It usually does not show up during normal
148 playback unless you play an audio file that is distorted heavily.
149 \opt{recording}{
150 If you encounter clipping while recording, your recording will sound distorted.
151 You should lower the gain.
153 \note{Note that the clip detection is not very precise.
154 Clipping might occur without being indicated.}
155 \item [The scale:]
156 Between the indicators of the right and left channel there are little dots.
157 These dots represent important volume values. In linear mode each dot is a
158 10\% mark. In dbfs mode the dots represent the following values (from right
159 to left): 0db, {}-3db, {}-6db, {}-9db, {}-12db, {}-18db, {}-24db, {}-30db,
160 {}-40db, {}-50db, {}-60db.
161 \end{description}
163 \subsection{\label{sec:contextmenu}The WPS Context Menu}
164 Like the context menu for the \setting{File Browser}, the \setting{WPS Context Menu}
165 allows you quick access to some often used functions:
167 \subsubsection{Playlist}
168 The \setting{Playlist} submenu allows you to view, save, search and
169 reshuffle the current playlist. To change settings for the
170 \setting{Playlist Viewer} press \ActionStdMenu{} while viewing the playlist
171 to bring up the \setting{Playlist Viewer Menu}.
173 \subsubsection{Playlist Viewer Menu}
174 \begin{description}
175 \item[Show Icons.] This toggles display of the icon for the currently selected
176 playlist entry and the icon for moving a playlist entry
177 \item[Show Indicies.] This toggles display of the line numbering for the playlist
178 \item[Track Display.] This toggles between filename only and full path for playlist entries
179 \item[Save Current Playlist.] Allows the current playlist to be saved as a \fname{.m3u} playlist file
180 \end{description}
183 \subsubsection{Playlist catalog}
184 \begin{description}
185 \item [View catalog.] This lists all playlists that are part of the
186 Playlist catalog. You can load a new playlist directly from this list.
187 \item [Add to playlist.] Adds the currently playing file to a playlist.
188 Select the playlist you want the file to be added to and it will get
189 appended to that playlist.
190 \item [Add to new playlist.] Similar to the previous entry this will
191 add the currently playing track to a playlist. You need to enter a name
192 for the new playlist first.
193 \end{description}
195 \subsubsection{Sound Settings}
196 This is a shortcut to the \setting{Sound Settings Menu}, where you can configure volume,
197 bass, treble, and other settings affecting the sound of your music.
198 See \reference{ref:configure_rockbox_sound} for more information.
200 \subsubsection{Playback Settings}
201 This is a shortcut to the \setting{Playback Settings Menu}, where you can configure shuffle,
202 repeat, party mode, study mode and other settings affecting the playback of your music.
204 \subsubsection{Rating}
205 The menu entry is only shown if \setting{Gather Runtime Information} is
206 enabled. It allows the asignment of a personal rating value (0 -- 10)
207 to a track which can be displayed in the WPS and used in the Database
208 browser. Press \ButtonRight{} to increment the value. The value wraps at 10.
210 \subsubsection{Bookmarks}
211 This allows you to create a bookmark in the currently-playing track.
213 \subsubsection{\label{ref:trackinfoviewer}Show Track Info}
214 \screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-id3-viewer}{The track info viewer}{}
215 This screen is accessible from the WPS screen, and provides a detailed view of
216 all the identity information about the current track. This info is known as
217 meta data and is stored in audio file formats to keep information on artist,
218 album etc. To access this screen, %
219 \opt{PLAYER_PAD,RECORDER_PAD,IRIVER_H100_PAD,IRIVER_H300_PAD,IRIVER_H10_PAD}{
220 press \ActionWpsIdThreeScreen. }%
221 \opt{ONDIO_PAD,IPOD_4G_PAD,IPOD_3G_PAD,IAUDIO_X5_PAD}{press \ActionWpsContext{}
222 to access the \setting{WPS Context Menu} and select
223 \setting{Show Track Info}. }%
224 \opt{RECORDER_PAD,PLAYER_PAD,ONDIO_PAD}{Use \ButtonLeft\ and \ButtonRight\
225 to move through the information.}%
227 \subsubsection{Open With...}
228 This \setting{Open With} function is the same as the \setting{Open With}
229 function in the file browser's \setting{Context Menu}.
231 \subsubsection{Delete}
232 Delete the currently playing file.
234 \nopt{player}{
235 \subsubsection{\label{sec:pitchscreen}Pitch}
237 The \setting{Pitch Screen} allows you to change the pitch and (at the same
238 time) the playback speed of your \dap. The pitch value can be adjusted
239 between 50\% and 200\%. 50\% means half the normal playback speed and the
240 pitch that is an octave lower than the normal pitch. 200\% means double
241 playback speed and the pitch that is an octave higher than the normal pitch.
242 It is not possible to change the pitch without changing the playback speed and
243 vice versa. Changing the pitch can be done in two modes: procentual and
244 semitone. Initially (after the \dap{} is switched on), procentual mode
245 is active.
247 \begin{table}
248 \begin{btnmap}{}{}
249 \ActionPsToggleMode
250 & Toggle pitch changing mode \\
252 \ActionPsIncSmall{} / \ActionPsDecSmall

254 (in semitone mode)\\
256 \ActionPsIncBig{} / \ActionPsDecBig
257 & Increase / Decrease pitch by 1\% (in procentual mode) or a semitone
258 (in semitone mode)\\
260 \ActionPsNudgeRight{} / \ActionPsNudgeLeft

282 Rockbox handles function buttons in a different way to the Archos software.
283 \ButtonFOne\ is always bound to the menu function, while \ButtonFTwo\ and
284 \ButtonFThree\ enable two quick screens.
286 \ButtonFTwo\ displays some browse and play settings which are likely to be
287 changed frequently. This settings are Shuffle mode, Repeat mode and the Show
288 files options
290 Shuffle mode plays each track in the currently playing list in a random order
291 rather than in the order shown in the browser.
293 Repeat mode repeats either a single track (One) or the entire playlist (All).
295 Show files determines what type files can be seen in the browser. This can be
296 just MP3 files and directories (Music), Playlists, MP3 files and directories
297 (Playlists), any files that Rockbox supports (Supported) or all files on the
298 disk (All).
300 See \reference{ref:PlaybackOptions} for more information about these
301 settings.
303 \begin{table}
304 \begin{btnmap}{}{}
305 \ButtonLeft & Controls Shuffle mode setting \\
306 \ButtonRight & Controls Repeat mode setting \\
307 \ButtonDown & Controls Show file setting \\
308 \end{btnmap}
309 \end{table}
311 \ButtonFThree\ controls frequently used display options.
313 Scroll bar turns the display of the Scroll bar on the left of the screen on
314 or off.
316 Status bar turns the status display at the top of the screen on or off.
317 Upside down inverts the screen so that the top of the display appears nearest
318 to the buttons. This is sometimes useful when storing the \dap\ in a pocket.
319 Key assignments swap over with the display orientation where it is logical
320 for them to do so.
322 See \reference{ref:Displayoptions} for more information about these
323 settings.
