PM123's General Behavior Settings

Behavior
- Start playing on file load
- Automatically starts playing when you load a file or playlist.
- Retain playing position
- You may keep the current playing position when you exit PM123 while playing and/or when you press the stop button.
The two options cause PM123 to continue playing at exactly the location where it stopped.
Note: If you click "Retain playing position on stop", the only way to start over from the beginning
is to drag the slider to the start or to change the current song.
Navigation
- Alternate slider
- Alternate navigation is available in playlist mode to navigate directly through the entire playlist.
It is activated by pressing the Alt key while the main window has the focus.
You can choose between three types of behavior:
- Song only
This allows you to use the slider to jump to the beginning
of an arbitrary song within a playlist.
- Song & time
This option will map all songs in the playlist to equidistant slices of the slider.
Within this blocks you can navigate to an relative location within the song item
(if it has finite length).
- Time only
This will navigate within the currently loaded playlist at a linear time scale
as if it were one very long song. If the total playing time of the playlist
is unknown (e.g. because a radio stream is part of the it)
alternate navigation will fall back to "Song & time".
