| Item | Explanation |
| Show Console |
Shows the player window. Useless because currently, there is no way to hide it. |
| Show/Hide Info |
DIsplays (or hides) the info window. The infow window displays media info like title, name, album, track,
as well as technical data like size, actual bit-rate, or the track currently playing. |
| Show Sound Controls |
Display the Sound Control pane, which allows you to change playback speeds/direction, balance, bass and treble.
You can also view audio spectra data in the pane as well. |
| Show 1/10 Seconds |
Shows tenth seconds in the time display of the player window. There are two modes: clock and numerical.
Clock mode is more intuitive in that the tenth second part is displayed by a "needle" in a circle. In numerical mode,
the actualy tenth second is displayed numerically.
The mode can be changed by clicking on the 1/10th seconds portion
of the time display (clicking else where on the time display will toggle "Time from start"/"Time to end" modes). |
| Single Mode |
When this mode is enabled, Niep will play one track, cue up the next track, then automatically pause. This feature
emulates the behavior of CD players used in live theater audio. |
| Auto Fade |
When this option is enabled, Niep will fade in/out instead of cutting in/out. For an example, when pausing/stopping playback,
instead of stopping immediately, Niep will do a quick fade out instead. |
| Pad tracks with silence |
When this option is enabled, Niep will insert 2 seconds of silence in between tracks. I added this feature because
my MD recorder uses silence to separate tracks, and it frequently recorded multiple songs into one track when recording
from Niep. |
| Fast Buffer |
When this buffer mode is enabled, Niep will use a faster, but less effective, buffering mechanism. |
| Efficient Buffer |
When this feature is enabled, Niep will split the track into short segments, and load one segment at a time as it plays.
Generally, this allows for faster buffering with less impact on quality. |
