FAQ :: How can I add songs from different folders through the "Media browser"? ::
:: Currently, it's not possible because Nitrogen scans a whole folder
you've browsed to build a playlist. This issue may be fixed soon.
:: I tap the previous/next song button but the music only changes the title. Is that a bug? ::
:: It's not a bug, but a feature of Nitrogen. This allows you to select
your desired song before playing it, without having to stop the current
song. If you don't like this behaviour, check the "Change playing song
through previous/next button" option in the Settings dialog.
:: I want to see the texts antialiased but I don't want to enable ClearType on my device. ::
:: Check the "Force ClearType rendering" option in the Settings dialog,
and the texts in the main window, media browser and equalizer will
become antialiased.
:: Rather than build a whole new player, why
don't you take you UI design and implement it as a skin for the
Mortplayer which uses the same MAD library and has everything else
already DONE? :: :: I don't know if it's a good or bad aspect of my
personality, but sometimes I don't like to use the things that are
ready-made. My intention on building Nitrogen is just to have some fun
and improve my knowledge on C++ programming language. MortPlayer is
great, and I'd be satisfied if my player worked like his. My intention
is not the competition nor copying his work, though. The ones that
really win with this situation are you, users. This way, you'll be able
to choose among several players and enjoy the one that you identify
more with.
:: I can't predict how the hell this wheel work. ::
:: If you use the default skin, tap and drag the upper half of the
wheel to change the playlist index. Tap and drag the lower half of the
wheel to change the volume. This behaviour is customizable through the
Skin Maker and in a future release it will be customizable through the
player itself.
:: Why are there too few skins (or why there is no skin that fits my resolution)? ::
:: The player is a very new project, and the skin support is even more
recent. So, be patient that soon there will be skins for your device or
skins that please you. If you want to accelerate this process, download
the Skin Maker and design your own skin. I'll be glad to post it in the
skins thread.
:: Why does the song stop (or become glitchy) if I minimize the player and do other things with my device? ::
:: That's because the default setting of the decoder is to be a
low-priority thread. I've made this default because I didn't want my
phone to become slower with the playback, even because the song usually
stops only when something is loading or wasting too much CPU. If you
want, change the "Thread priority" to "Normal" in the Settings dialog
to prevent this effect.
:: What do the "Prebuffer length" and "Output prebuffer" options do? ::
:: Respectively, they specify how many milisseconds and the amount of
the MP3 file that will be decoded ahead what is currently being played.
If you check the "Low" thread priority setting and your prebuffer
length is set to 4000ms, another process can use the CPU for 4 seconds
before the song becomes glitchy. If you check the "Normal" thread
priority, your prebuffer length does not need to be that large: 1000ms
must be enough (this will free up memory).
