Music player
The P900 Music player is a multi-format digital audio player, which enables the user to play a selection of
favourite songs.
Music player Specification
•
Formats: MP3, WAV, AU, AMR, MIDI, RMF, and iMelody.
•
Features: Playlists, Random order, Loop, Automatic pause on incoming call.
Songs may be stored in the internal P900 user storage and on Memory Stick. Songs may be collected in
numerous ways, including Internet download, file transfer from the PC using SyncStation and, of course,
Memory Stick.
The Music Player is intelligently aware of other applications on the P900:
•
Playback is paused when a telephone call is made or an incoming call is accepted.
•
Playback is paused if the user starts another application, which requires the audio channels to be
dedicated to it.
•
Playback of MP3 files continues if the user switches to another application, thus providing music
while using other applications such as PIM or Messages. Playback is also unaffected when opening
or closing the flip.
P900/P908 White Paper, December 2003
The Music player is started from the Application Launcher
and is accessed in Flip Open or Flip Closed mode.
The playlist is shown in the lower half of the screen and the
currently selected track is shown at the top. The playlist is
made up from all the tracks found in the selected folder – the
image on the left shows all the folders (internal memory and
Memory Stick Duo) have been selected.
The duration of the track is displayed in the top half of the
screen together with information extracted from the file. For
MP3 tracks, information is read from the ID3 tags in the file,
and this includes artist, album and filename. ID3 1.x and 2.0
is supported.
Songs can be played in consecutive order or in a random
sequence. A Loop function enables the playlist to be
repeated automatically, providing continuous music.
Preference settings allow different file types to be included
or excluded from the playlist. By default, only MP3 audio
files are listed.
The Manage Tracks menu option allows tracks to be moved
to different folders to make-up playlists. Tracks can also be
deleted.
