Loading and Playing Music

To load music, simply drag and drop audio files from the system's file explorer onto the turntable.

Supported audio formats are: mp3, flac, wav, ogg, aif, wma

To play a loaded file, make sure the turntable's platter is spinning (by pressing the Start - Stop button), pickup the turntable needle and position it at the beginning (outer edge) of the record.

Loading Multiple Files

If multiple files are dragged onto the turntable, they will be added to the playback queue in the order in which they were selected in the file explorer, but starting with the file that was clicked to initiate the drag.

When multiple tracks are queued, the turntable will automatically load the next track when the current one finishes playing, or when the needle is placed at the end of the record.

Info

Dragging new files onto the turntable, will clear the playback queue.

Displaying Cover Art

If cover art is embedded into the audio file, it will be automatically loaded and displayed on the record label and sleeve behind the turntable.

If no cover art is found, a generic label will be displayed on the record instead, and the sleeve will be hidden.

The record sleeve behind the turntable can be hidden by unchecking Show Record Sleeve in the menu.
