FreeAmp provides two different ways to handle items (files, streams, tracks, and playlists) that are added to the Currently Listening To playlist.
FreeAmp can automatically replace the Currently Listening To playlist with the new item and begin playback immediately, or it can add the items to the bottom of the Currently Listening To playlist queue.
FreeAmp only queues items that are added by:
· The Files button on the FreeAmp main window.
· Double-clicking a track or playlist in the My Music Collection window.
· Double-clicking a file in the Windows Explorer, or clicking on a SHOUTcast/icecast stream in a Web browser.
· Invoking FreeAmp from the command line and specifying an MP3 file on the command line.
1. From the FreeAmp Main Window, click the Options button.
2. From the FreeAmp Preferences dialog, click the General tab.
3. From the Miscellaneous field, set the "Default action is to queue tracks; do not play them immediately" option. Select this option to add items to the bottom of the queue. Make sure this option is not selected if you want FreeAmp to replace the Currently Listening To playlist with the new item and begin playback immediately.
4. Click the OK button.
Note: This option applies only to the Currently Listening To playlist. It does not apply when using the Editing New Playlist window.
