Key assignments

Key assignments

In the key assignments pages (player, navigation and rating) you can specify keyboard shortcuts to AlbumPlayer functions. This page also shows which multimedia key is assigned to which AlbumPlayer function. Multimedia keys are often used by special keyboard buttons or remote-controls

To change a value of a shortcut key, put the cursor in a field and then press the desired key. If you have a remote control which can simulate key strokes, then put the cursor in a field and press on the desired button of the remote control to change the field.

The following functions can also be controlled using the multimedia keys and shortcuts even when the AlbumPlayer is in the background:

Play/Pause
Play
Pause
Stop
Fast Forward
Rewind
Next Track
Previous Track
Ban Track
Volume Up
Volume Down
Mute
Toggle ASIO (toggles either to playback using regular drivers or ASIO drivers see also Audio page.)

Ignore Volume Control (let it handle by Windows)
The AlbumPlayer ignores the multimedia keys to control volume (volume up, volume down and mute)

Only accept keys when main screen is focussed (needs restart to change)
When this option is set the AlbumPlayer will only accept key input when the main screen has focus. To make this option to work you have to restart your computer.
