How do I play just one song, ID3 Database view

(1/3) > >>

CapnBry:
I can't seem to find this in the rockbox manual for my new iAudio X5.  From the ID3 Database file view, I arrow right until I get to the song I want to hear, now how do I get it to just play this one song?

Select: Starts playing the song, but builds a playlist with every file currently listed.
Right arrow: Same as Select.
Long-Select: Gives me playlist options to insert or queue, both of which put it onto the currently running playlist.

Is there a way to clear the dynamic playlist and create a new one with just the one track in it?  (From here I'm going to start appending other single tracks)  There will always be a current playlist and / or a file currently playing.

Deano:
To play single tracks I always:

- Stop Playback (holding down play/pause in WPS)
- Find track to play
- Hold Select > Playlist Options > Insert

Should then play the one selected file.

CapnBry:
You're my hero, this works just like it is suppsed to.  

The manual mentioned that "... if you want to play only a single song and then
stop, stop playback, ..." but I had no clue how to stop playback, only pause it.  

The rockbox X5 manual says "Please add correct keys" for how to stop playback from the WPS.

The manual says this because at the time of writing the keys where unknown for the guys writing this sentence. Also, some writers only own one device, so they are unable testing the key mappings on other devices (except asking for help with for example such "descriptions"). So if you want to get the manual better, why don't you check out those keys and report the correct ones?

CapnBry:
I just went to do that but apparently it has already been fixed.  CVS shows /manual/platform/x5.tex v1.10 (16 Aug 2006) has the right information in it, however the X5 manual I have (from daily builds, 2006-09-06) does not.  I grabbed today's 2006-09-12, and it is has the button mappings set.  Bizarre.
