02: Selecting a track with command view
Using search box(1):
The search box can be used to find any file, track, genre, artist, album... for a given text. A result popup appears. Then launch the track by clicking on the list: the track will be played immediately.
Using history bar(2):
The history bar shows all tracks you played (can be cleared and configured in the Parameter view / history tab). Click on one track to launch it again. Note that tracks in the history bar may be on devices that are no more mounted. In this case, Jajuk will ask you to mount them if available.
Modes set the player behavior when selected before and during the play. All combinations of modes are allowed. Note that you can see which tracks are repeated thanks special icons in the playlist editor view.
Repeat mode [default=off]): When checked, next launched selection
will be played in a loop. If it is checked during a play, only
current track will repeat.
Shuffle mode [default=off]: When checked, next launched selection
will be played randomly. If it is checked during a play, current
selection will randomize.
Continue mode [default=on]: When checked, player will not stop when
selection is played but will continue to play next albums or tracks.
Intro mode [default=off]: When checked, only a part of each track
will be played (begin position and play time can bet set in the
Parameter view/Options tab)
