Control the current track
Open Now for the main player. Portrait and Landscape control the same track, queue, and volume, so switching window modes does not start another player.
| Control | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Play / pause | Starts or pauses the selected track. Space also works when a playback shortcut is appropriate for the focused control. |
| Previous | Restarts the current track when more than four seconds have played; near the start, moves to the previous track when one is available. |
| Next | Moves to the next track allowed by the current playback order. |
| Seek bar | Select or drag to a different position. Left / Right seek five seconds. |
| Volume | Click the volume track to jump, or press and drag across it for continuous adjustment. You can also scroll over the volume control. Scrolling a library or lyrics list scrolls its content. |
Manage the queue
- Open Queue to see the current session. Use Add files or Add folder to add music for playback.
- From a track’s action menu, choose Play next to place it after the current track, or Add to queue to append it.
- Drag queue entries to adjust the order. Release to keep the move, or press
Escapeduring the drag to cancel. - Use a track’s remove control to remove its queue entry. This does not delete the music file.
Play all from a playlist, album, or artist replaces the queue and starts that collection. Add all appends files that are not already queued. Adding tracks is distinct from starting playback. Starting a collection keeps the current song audible until the first selected track is ready, and the player keeps showing the playing state during that switch.
Change playback order
Use the Playback order control in the player or Queue. Each click cycles through Off → Shuffle → Repeat queue → Repeat one → Off. These are alternatives on one control.
| Mode | What happens |
|---|---|
| Off | Plays the queue in order and stops at its end. |
| Shuffle | Chooses a shuffled upcoming order. Previous can return through the shuffle history. |
| Repeat queue | Plays in queue order and returns to the beginning at the end. |
| Repeat one | Repeats the current track when it finishes. Next can still move to another queued track. |
Resume and move between tracks
Neirose saves the queue, playback settings, and current position locally. Restoring a position depends on the original file still being accessible. Press play when you are ready to continue.
Consecutive tracks can transition gaplessly when their audio stream formats match. A format change can require reopening the output device. See Signal processing for the conditions.
Closing the main window can leave Neirose running in the notification area. Use the notification-area menu’s exit action when you want to stop the application completely.
For Neirose 1.5.0.0. Check your installed version.
