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.

176 \subsection{\label{ref:peak_meter}Peak Meter}
177 The peak meter can be displayed on the While Playing Screen and consists of
178 several indicators.
179 \opt{recording}{
180 For a picture of the peak meter, please see the While
181 Recording Screen in \reference{ref:while_recording_screen}.
183 \opt{ipodvideo}{
184 \note{Especially the \playerman{} \playertype{}'s performance and battery runtime
185 suffers when this feature is enabled. For this \dap{} it is highly recommended
186 to not use peak meter.}
189 \begin{description}
190 \item [The bar:]
191 This is the wide horizontal bar. It represents the current volume value.
192 \item [The peak indicator:]
193 This is a little vertical line at the right end of the bar. It indicates
194 the peak volume value that occurred recently.
195 \item [The clip indicator:]
196 This is a little black block that is displayed at the very right of the
197 scale when an overflow occurs. It usually does not show up during normal
198 playback unless you play an audio file that is distorted heavily.
199 \opt{recording}{
200 If you encounter clipping while recording, your recording will sound distorted.
201 You should lower the gain.
203 \note{Note that the clip detection is not very precise.
204 Clipping might occur without being indicated.}
205 \item [The scale:]
206 Between the indicators of the right and left channel there are little dots.
207 These dots represent important volume values. In linear mode each dot is a
208 10\% mark. In dBFS mode the dots represent the following values (from right
209 to left): 0~dB, {}-3~dB, {}-6~dB, {}-9~dB, {}-12~dB, {}-18~dB, {}-24~dB, {}-30~dB,
210 {}-40~dB, {}-50~dB, {}-60~dB.
211 \end{description}
213 \subsection{\label{sec:contextmenu}The WPS Context Menu}
214 Like the context menu for the \setting{File Browser}, the \setting{WPS Context Menu}
215 allows you quick access to some often used functions.
217 \subsubsection{Playlist}
218 The \setting{Playlist} submenu allows you to view, save, search and
219 reshuffle the current playlist. To change settings for the
220 \setting{Playlist Viewer} press \ActionStdContext{} while viewing the current
221 playlist to bring up the \setting{Playlist Viewer Menu}. In this menu, you
222 can find the \setting{Playlist Viewer Settings}.
224 \subsubsection{Playlist Viewer Settings}
225 \begin{description}
226 \item[Show Icons.] This toggles display of the icon for the currently
227 selected playlist entry and the icon for moving a playlist entry
228 \item[Show Indices.] This toggles display of the line numbering for
229 the playlist
230 \item[Track Display.] This toggles between filename only and full path
231 for playlist entries
232 \item[Save Current Playlist.] Allows the current playlist to be saved as
233 a \fname{.m3u8} playlist file
234 \end{description}
237 \subsubsection{Playlist catalogue}
238 \begin{description}
239 \item [View catalogue.] This lists all playlists that are part of the
240 Playlist catalogue. You can load a new playlist directly from this list.
241 \item [Add to playlist.] Adds the currently playing file to a playlist.
242 Select the playlist you want the file to be added to and it will get
243 appended to that playlist.
244 \item [Add to new playlist.] Similar to the previous entry this will
245 add the currently playing track to a playlist. You need to enter a name
246 for the new playlist first.
247 \end{description}
249 \subsubsection{Sound Settings}
250 This is a shortcut to the \setting{Sound Settings Menu}, where you can configure volume,
251 bass, treble, and other settings affecting the sound of your music.
252 See \reference{ref:configure_rockbox_sound} for more information.
254 \subsubsection{Playback Settings}
255 This is a shortcut to the \setting{Playback Settings Menu}, where you can configure shuffle,
256 repeat, party mode, skip length and other settings affecting the playback of your music.
258 \subsubsection{Rating}
259 The menu entry is only shown if \setting{Gather Runtime Information} is
260 enabled. It allows the assignment of a personal rating value (0 -- 10)
261 to a track which can be displayed in the WPS and used in the Database
262 browser. The value wraps at 10.
264 \subsubsection{Bookmarks}
265 This allows you to create a bookmark in the currently-playing track.
267 \subsubsection{\label{ref:trackinfoviewer}Show Track Info}
268 \screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-id3-viewer}{The track info viewer}{}
269 This screen is accessible from the WPS screen, and provides a detailed view of
270 all the identity information about the current track. This info is known as
271 meta data and is stored in audio file formats to keep information on artist,
272 album etc. To access this screen, %

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

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

422 Scroll bar turns the display of the Scroll bar on the left of the screen on
423 or off.
425 Status bar turns the status display at the top of the screen on or off.
426 Upside down inverts the screen so that the top of the display appears nearest
427 to the buttons. This is sometimes useful when storing the \dap\ in a pocket.
428 Key assignments swap over with the display orientation where it is logical
