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.

16 the screen.
18 \opt{ondio}{

24 \item The ID3 track name.
25 \item The ID3 album name.

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

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

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

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