Template:XBMC wiki toc Inline There are two different ways to view your media in Music: The Files View and The Library View. Choose either option to learn more about them.
When you first open Music, the interface will look like the image on the right. Dominating the screen on the right-hand side is where your media is displayed. In this case, it is displaying all of the Media Sources available to Music.
Playing music is as simple as navigating through your sources and selecting a song. |
Controls During Playback
Controls during playback can be divided into two categories, in the GUI and during Visualizations.
While in the GUI you are able to browse all of XBMC and even look at pictures while playing music. If we look at the different controlling methods XBMC offers, gaming controller playback options while in the GUI are limited. A remote, such as the orignal XBOX DVD-Remote has conventional playback controls that can be used during music playback in the GUI as well as during Visualizations.
During GUI playback you can call up the Mini Control at any time if you are using a control method that does not offer standard playback controls.
The Context Menu
The Context Menu allows you to interact with the individual media items. The following options are available whilst in File Mode, selecting an album:
|
- Other possible menu items
- Search
- Allows you to search for specific media
- Delete
- Deletes the item. Must be enabled in Appearance Settings.
- Rename
- Renames the item. Must be enabled in Appearance Settings.
The On Screen Display (OSD)
There are two different onscreen displays available in Music, learn more about them here.
