Library options
XMPlay can monitor folders (inc. sub-folders), and automatically add new files to the library, and remove deleted ones. The monitored folders and the number of library entries contained in them are listed.
Right-clicking on a list entry gives the option of rescanning the folder, removing it (with or without keeping the folder's tracks in the library), and toggling whether to include sub-folders.
Rescanning can be useful after installing new plugins, in case formerly unplayable files become playable.
Add
Sets up monitoring of a folder.Keep tracks with overridden tags
When a monitored file with overridden tags is deleted, it'll remain in the library if this option is enabled. If the file has been moved, the dead track recovery options (below) can be used to recover it without having to re-enter the overridden tags.Auto-add to library
This option tells XMPlay if/when it should automatically add tracks to the library. When set to "on play", tracks will be added to the library when they are considered played (determined by the Playback options "Count as played after" setting). When set to "on list", tracks will also be added to the library when they are added to the playlist.Process playlists
If enabled, when adding playlist files (eg. PLS/M3U/ASX) to the library, they will be parsed and their contents added to the library. Otherwise, the playlist file itself will be added to the library, and only parsed when it is added to the playlist/played. Playlists in the library will have their entry count shown in the library's "subsongs" column.An internet radio playlist URL could be added to the library to ensure that the correct stream URL is always used, even if it changes.
