Playback options
Looping options
Loop
This controls looping. When set to "auto", only files that are detected as being intended to loop are.Limit
If this is enabled, and looping is enabled too, tracks will only be looped the specified number of times or until playback has gone on for the specified number of minutes, whichever is sooner. Either limit can be disabled by setting it to 0.Auto-loop any track ending with sound
For file formats that don't have loop information, this option tells XMPlay to loop tracks that have sound at the very end when looping is set to "auto". This also affects the "fade-out" option, as tracks will only fade-out if a loop is detected.Fade-out
When playing a looped track, rather than have a sudden stop at the end, XMPlay can smoothly fade it out. The length (in seconds) of the fade-out is set here.Ending options
Wait for end to decay
When enabled, XMPlay will wait for the end (eg. last notes) of the track to decay, and optionally any DSP (eg. reverb) too. Waiting for the last notes to decay is only possible with some formats (eg. MIDI), but the DSP setting applies to all. When that is set to "single track", XMPlay will only wait when playing a single track (auto-advance is disabled or writing to disk), so as not to affect gapless playback.Unload track
When enabled, a track is unloaded at the end even if no other track is being played after it.Remove track from playlist
When enabled, a track is removed from the playlist after it has been played, including when manually changing track if the "Count as played after" time has passed. This can be disabled for individual tracks via the "Don't auto-remove" option in the track's right-click menu.Track change transition
This determines what happens when one track ends and another starts, and over what duration. The tracks can be crossfaded, or the old track faded-out over the new one, or a silent gap inserted between them.Manual change
This setting determines whether the track change transition should apply to manual changes too (eg. via the next/previous controls), and if so, what percentage of the full duration should apply.Apply to subsongs
If enabled, the track change transition applies to subsong changes too.Don't preload next track
The next track is usually loaded a bit before the current one ends, to allow gapless playback. That can be disabled here, but not when crossfading is enabled.Gapless playback, including the crossfading transitions, is only possible when the output format is the same for both tracks. The "Apply sample rate to all file formats" option in the Output options can be used to ensure that is usually the case.
