Chapter 7. Playback Settings

7.3. Play Selected First

This setting controls what happens when you select a ﬁle for playback while shuﬄe mode

is on. If the Play Selected First setting is Yes, the ﬁle you selected will be played

ﬁrst. If this setting is No, a random ﬁle in the directory will be played ﬁrst.

These settings control the speed and acceleration during fast forward and rewind. The

setting FF/RW Min Step controls the initial speed and FF/RW Accel controls the

acceleration.

7.5. Anti-Skip Buﬀer

This setting controls how early Rockbox starts reﬁlling the music buﬀer from the hard

drive when playing. A longer Anti-Skip Buﬀer helps prevent skips in music playback if

Rockbox has trouble reading from the disk. This can happen if the player is knocked,

shaken or jogged heavily while Rockbox is trying to read the hard drive.

The anti-skip buﬀer can be set to various values between 5 seconds and 10 minutes.

Note: Having a large anti-skip buﬀer tends to use more power, and may reduce your

battery life. It is recommended to always use the lowest possible setting that allows

correct and continuous playback.

Enables and disables a fade eﬀect when you pause or stop playing a song. If the Fade

on Stop/Pause option is set to Yes, your music will fade out when you stop or pause

playback, and fade in when you resume playback.

Enables unstoppable music playback. When new songs are selected, they are queued at

the end of the current dynamic playlist instead of being played immediately. Pausing

and stopping playback is disabled as well as skipping songs and launching plugins.

This section controls the behavior of the crossfader. The crossfader, when enabled,

smoothly fades one track into the next. This can occur in two situations: an automatic

track change or a manual track skip. An automatic track change occurs at the end of
