Listening to the Playlist

To control playback of the playlist you can use a number of buttons which work analogously as similar buttons in a CD player

- PLAY button: when pressed plays back the playlist starting from the selected item

- PAUSE button: when pressed pauses the playback; to resume playback after pausing press the PAUSE button again or press the PLAY button.

- STOP button: when pressed, stops the playback.

- NEXT button: can be used to select the next playlist item

- PREVIOUS button: can be used to select the previous playlist item

By clicking on the PLAYBACK MODE button you may select one of three playback modes :

- Loop mode:plays all soundfiles in the playlist starting from the currently selected item. When the end of the playlist is reached, the first soundfile is selected and the playback is resumed.

- Normal mode:plays all soundfiles in the playlist starting from the currently selected item. Playback stops when the end of the playlist is reached.

- Sample mode: plays a five second fragment of each of the soundfiles in a playlist, starting from the currently selected item. Playback stops when the end of the list is reached.

During playback, DART CD-Recorder Basic shows the volume (the instantaneous peak levels) of the currently played soundfile. The volume is displayed in the PlayInfo Panel, which replaces the File Panel. The volume meters are scaled in logarithmic units called decibels (dB).

The slider placed below the volume meters shows the position within the soundfile. At any time during the playback you can drag the slider to a new position.

The name of the currently played soundfile along with the corresponding time display is shown in the Playlist Panel right below the playlist window. At any time during the playback you can hide the PlayInfo Panel by checking the Hide Playing panel box displayed below the playlist window. This will allow you to do some file management while playback of a playlist runs.
