The Mode menu contains the following items:
CD Mode
Switches Audion into CD mode, ready to play CDs.
Clear Cached Info For This CD
Each time the track data for a CD is accessed from CDDB, that data is cached in a file. Sometimes this data may become out of date. Selecting this item will erase the cache for the current CD, forcing it to retrieve the data again from CDDB.
Refresh Info For This CD
This will force Audion to re-retrieve the track/title data for the selected CD from CDDB.
Encode This Track With N2MP3
This will encode the currently playing track using Proteron's N2MP3 encoder, sold separately.
Encode Disc With N2MP3
Tells N2MP3 to start encoding the entire CD into MP3 form.
MP3 Mode
Switches Audion into MP3 mode, so you can listen to MP3s.
Net Mode
Switches Audion into Net mode, so you can listen to streaming MP3s.
Add This Server To Favorites
Will create a new 'favorite' for the current server.
Refresh Stream Guide Window
This will force the Stream Guide window to reload its list. Since the Stream Guide window will only load once per Audion session, refreshign the stream guide window is a good way to keep your list current.
Play
Starts playing audio in the selected mode.
Stop
Stops playing audio in the selected mode.
Eject
Ejects a CD, if applicable.
Karaoke
Initiates karaoke mode, which in some cases effectively reduces the vocals of your MP3 music so that you can sing along. For more information, click here.
