General preferences

    The General preferences are used to fine-tune and personalize Audion's behavior.

Files

    This section contains preferences related to audio file playing.

    When files are played, associate them with Audion:
    Changes the creator of your audio files to Audion. This makes it possible to double click a file in the Finder and have it opened in Audion.

    Remove custom icons when changing associations:
    This will remove any custom icons left behind by other players.

    Filter out duplicate files when adding to the playlist:
    Prevents duplicate files from being added to your playlist.

    Delete temporary network audio URL files when played:
    Cleans up Netscape/IE "URL" files usually left on the desktop. Commonly these are .m3u or .pls files. If you want to snag a stream for later listening, sometimes it's handy to have these files stick around.

    Update play counter tag in MP3 files:
    This will update the counter in the MP3 file each time an MP3 file is played. The first time a play counter is added to a file, there may be a delay of a few seconds. Later updates will be much quicker. This option is turned off by default because of the potential performance hit, but is very cool if you want some statistics about your listening habits.

Default Playlist

    This section concerns setting up a default playlist.

    Start playing default playlist on launch:
    Will auto play the playlist chosen with the default button.

    Hide default playlist on launch:
    Just in case you don't want to see the playlist when opened.

    Choose default playlist button:
    Click to select a playlist you want Audion to load by default.

Encoder Settings

    This section contains various encoder settings.

    Create artist/album folders for encoded files:
    As Audion encodes CD tracks, it will automatically build a hierarchy of folders to match the album and artist name of the CD tracks. Makes for easier organization!

    Output Folder button:
    Lets you set an output folder for all your freshly encoded tracks.
