CEPlaylist Icon - Clicking on the CEPlayist icon will bring up an Advanced Preferences dialog, described below.
Show File I/O Warnings - Some files may have an MP3, OGG or WMA extension, even though they are not music files. In addition, some music files are not created properly in the first place. If this preference is selected (default), when CEPlaylist tries to open and read such a file it will generate a warning identifying the bad file. To skip these warnings and allow the library to be built without interruptions, deselect this option.
Update Song File Tags - When a song's title, artist, album, track, or genre is edited in the Song Library window, the data is automatically saved in the library file. The song files themselves will also be updated with the new information if this option is set (default). WARNING: In an error condition, this could cause the song file to be unplayable, and this option should only be selected if other copies of the song file exist.
Rebuild Library on Startup - When selected (default), the database that the application uses to track all the songs on the device is recreated every time the application is started. This can be a lengthy operation as each file has to be found, opened, and have its tags parsed. If there are more than a few hundred songs on the device, it may be better to deselect this preference which will cause a database file to be created and used every time the application starts. If songs are frequently added to and deleted from the device, it may be better to leave the preference selected so the new data is read when the application starts.
Always ask for Library Location - This option only applies if the Rebuild Library option is not selected. If this option is selected, the File Dialog will be presented every time the application is started so that the appropriate library file can be located. This is useful if songs are kept on removable media. The library can also be kept on the removable media so that it does not have to be rebuilt each time a card is swapped. The default for this option is 'deselected'.
Use Action Button - When checked, this option maps the 'Action Button' on the PocketPC to the Play Selection menu on the Song Library view. It has no effect when used with the Playlist or Song List views.
AutoReturn - When checked, this option will cause CEPlaylist to become the active window 10 seconds after selected songs have been sent to the player from the Song Library view. It has no effect when used with the Playlist or Song List views.
Sort Song by - This option controls the order that song files will be listed in the Song Library view. It also determines the order that songs will be copied from the Song Library view to the Song List view.
The choices are:
Date-When checked, songs will be sorted by the file's timestamp.
In most cases, this will be the time that the song was originally ripped
from the CD. This is dependent on the software that was used to create
the song file. Windows CE will change this time if the file is modified,
which happens if the song tags have been edited on the PocketPC and the
'Update Song File Tags' preference has been set.
Alpha-When checked, songs will be sorted alphabetically based on
the song's Name tag.
File-When checked, songs will be sorted alphabetically by the song's
filename.
Trk-When checked,
songs will be sorted based on the song's Track tag. (default)
Default Library
DB: - The location of the Library database can be set here. This is
only used if the Rebuild Library option is not selected, and the
default Library database file is:
\My Documents\CEPlaylist.tsv. Clicking on the Change button will
bring up the File Dialog and allow a new location
for the Library database file to be entered.
Default Help File:
- The location of the help files can be set here. Because it is large,
it may be desirable to install these files on removable media. The default
help file location is:
\Program Files\CEPlaylist Help\ceplaylist.htm. Clicking on the Change
button will bring up the File Dialog and allow
a new location for the help file to be entered.
Source: - The starting point for the search for music files can be set here. This allows the search to be narrowed to a specific place, and is very useful if the PocketPC is connected to a network that may have thousands of files. The default source file location is the root directory (\). Clicking on the Change button will bring up the File Dialog and allow a new location to search for source files. The Net checkbox is only enabled on PocketPC2002 devices, and controls access to network files. If selected, CEPlaylist will search directories starting with '\NETWORK\' as well as local directories. (See Network Configuration below)
Playlist Files: - The starting point for the search for Playlist files can be set here. This allows the search to be narrowed to a specific place, and is very useful if the PocketPC is connected to a network that may have thousands of files. The default playlist file location is the root directory (\). Clicking on the Change button will bring up the File Dialog and allow a new location to search for playlist files. The Net checkbox is only enabled on PocketPC2002 devices, and controls access to network files. If selected, CEPlaylist will search directories starting with '\NETWORK\' as well as local directories. (See Network Configuration below)
