Listening audio

Options to listen audio in comfortable layout located in different places. Here will be listed most demanded options for this:

Interface, optimized for listening music

Audio mode

Audio mode suggests to hide video panel and stretch playlist to height of entire window (only in windowed mode). To enable it, in Preferences \ Playlist \ View tab check the "Skin for audio-mode" checkbox. You can choice any skin (only in case, if this skin not selected for main mode). However, some skins have special audio versions.

Pay attention: audio mode is possible only in case if you have disabled multiple instances (Preferences \ System \ "Allow multiple instances" checkbox), because in this mode configuration file is changed in real-time. If you want to use Light Alloy for video and audio in the same time, perhaps, you would like to use portable instance of Light Alloy for one of this purposes.

Customizing entries in playlist

These options could be interesting for you:

• Show numbers (Preferences \ Playlist \ View tab);
• Show duration (same path);
• Read title from tags (in playlist, Preferences \ Playlist \ Misc tab);
• Use title from tags, instead of filename (in caption, Preferences \ Interface \ Appearance tab).

Use captions from .cue-sheets

Visit Preferences \ Interface \ Appearance tab and check the "For audio use title from playlist bookmarks, if available". As result, in caption you will see not title of .cue-sheet, but title of playing composition.

Control Light Alloy in minimized form (from tray)

Full list of available settings you can find in Preferences \ Interface \ Tray tab. Allows minimize Light Alloy to tray and control it when mouse over icon.
