Mp3-Box V1.3 Help

First use

After you installed Mp3-Box for the first time, you have to make a directorie called Mp3-Box in the root of any drive. This could be a network drive, zip drive, or just a regular disk drive. Copy or move every mp3, wav, midi or ra file you want to that directorie and you're ready to start Mp3-Box for the first time.

Adding files

After copying (new) files to any Mp3-Box directorie, you must import them into Mp3-Box with the Add new files button. In the new window, you click on one of the found files. Then you want to check the file by clicking Play. You can check the file if it's complete by clicking Last 5 seconds. If not, or if you don't want the file you can click on delete. If you like the file, you can enter the artist name, and see if the song is not already imported in the up-right listbox. (You get a list of titles of the artist you entered.) If not, enter the title and genre and press enter to complete. For adding more files, follow the same steps.

Deleting files

You can delete files from Mp3-Box only by deleting them from the subdirectorie in the Mp3-Box directorie.

Play

You can play the imported files by drag and drop. Drag the songs to the playlist window to add them to the playlist. You can use the Next, Play/Pause, Previous and Stop buttons like a regular player to play the playlist. While playing, you can add the songs you like. By dragging the songs from the left Titles listbox and drop them on the Next button, it will be added in the playlist at the position below the song which is playing.

Search

You can search every song just by typing the artist name, songtitle or just a part of the songtitle. If you found the song(s) you like, you can drag and drop it (them) to the playlist as described above. You can select a genre first to search only the selected genre.

Skip

You can skip within the song by clicking or dragging the play time indicator above the Playlist listbox.

Timer

Press the display button to change the time display from Song play-time to Song time-played to Playlist time played.

Save/Load Playlist

Use the Save playlist button to save the playlist, and use the Load playlist button to load a saved playlist.

Extra options

Press at the Selected button to play the last 3 seconds of every song in the playlist to check if they're complete. Press Stop/Play for normal play. Press on the < or > button to slow down/speed up the song. (Just a fun option)
