Miscellaneous
FreeAmp provides two different ways to handle tracks and playlists that are added to the Currently Listening To playlist.
FreeAmp can replace the Currently Listening To playlist with the new item and begin playback immediately, or it can add the tracks or playlists to the bottom of the Currently Listening To playlist queue.
Default action is to queue tracks; do not play them immediately sets the Player to add items (files, streams, tracks and playlists) to the bottom of the Currently Listening To playlist queue. If this option is not selected, the Player automatically replaces the Currently Listening To playlist with the new item and begins playback immediately.
FreeAmp only queues items that are added by:
· The Files button on the FreeAmp main window.
· Double-clicking a track or playlist in the My Music Collection window.
· Double-clicking a file in the Windows Explorer, or clicking on a SHOUTcast/icecast stream in a Web browser.
· Invoking FreeAmp from the command line and specifying an MP3 file on the command line.
Note: This option applies only to the Currently Listening To playlist. It does not apply when using the Editing New Playlist window.
Save current playlist when exiting the application saves the playlist as a temporary file. When you reopen FreeAmp the temporary file's playlist is automatically opened and begins playback. The temporary playlist file is not saved as a playlist in your My Music Collection.
