xtunes features docs mailbag project download



Here's some brief documentation since I've heard this isn't all obvious:

  1. Previous song
  2. Play/Pause/Stop
  3. Next song
  4. Shrink the interface to a mini-xtunes. Once it is shrunk, use this same button to make it big again.
  5. If this was a more recent screenshot (sorry, too lazy), there would be a little arrow button here. Press it to make this window a graphic equalizer visualization, and press it again to revert to this state.
  6. This is the message window.
  7. Progress bar. While playing a song, click in here to skip around the song.
  8. Type in here to search for stuff in the selected source. Right now, this is case-sensitive, but one of these days it won't be.
  9. This button changes based on what source is selected. If the Library is selected, it will be an Import button to bring files from the filesystem into the xtunes library. If an audio cd is selected, it will be a rip button to rip the cd to mp3s/oggs/whatever. If a playlist is selected, it will be a burn button to rip the checked songs to a cd.
  10. Click on these column headings to change the sorting of this table.
  11. This doesn't do anything. It was going to be resize for when you run xtunes without window decorations, but now i'm going to wait for gtk 2.0 to be released since it has something like this built-in.
  12. Eject the cd.
  13. Visualization, but it doesn't do anything yet.
  14. Brings up the configuration dialog.
  15. These are checkboxes. Check them if you want the song to play. If you are burning a cd, only the checked songs will be burnt.
  16. This tells you how many songs are currently checked, how much playing time they take, and how much disk space they are taking up.
  17. Drag this thing around to change the amount of space the source list and song list take up.
  18. Loop toggle. If depressed, once the current list of songs is done, it will start at the first song again. You can toggle this in the middle of playing a list.
  19. Random toggle. If depressed, the current song list will be played in a random order. This will only work if you toggle it in the "stopped" state.
  20. Create a new playlist. The new playlist will be called "New Playlist".
  21. If you double click on a playlist, the name will show up here. You can edit it and when you press enter, the playlist name will change. (Once gtk 2.0 comes out, this will go away, as it now supports editing cell contents in place.)
  22. This is the list of available "sources". Sources can be the library, audio cds, or playlists.
  23. Volume control. To the right is louder, to the left is quieter.
