General play modes

Before launching tracks, you can set default Jajuk behavior in the command view:

Image:pm01.jpg Fig. 01: Modes
  • 1- Repeat mode: if set, selection will be played in a loop
  • 2- Shuffle mode: if set, selection will be played randomly
  • 3- Continue mode: if set, tracks after selection will be played when selection is done
  • 4- Introduction mode: if set, only a part of each track will be played (begin position and play time can bet set in the parameter view)

Note: these modes are taken into account only if you launch tracks with the "Play" command. You can always overwrite these modes launching tracks with "Play repeat" or "Play shuffle" option.

The " Push " command you will find in most menus allows you to push the selection in the queue: it means the tracks you push will be played when previous selection is over. You can browse the queue using the smart playlist "Queue" (See fig. 02):

Smart functions

To avoid selecting tracks, you can use these high-level smart functions from command panel or tray:

Image:bestof.png Play best of: launch one of your favorite track (learned with dynamic rate) and with a bit of random.

Image:position.png Position in current track (slider). The slider shows the current position of the track. Towards the right end time elapsed is shown, and a mouse click in that area would change the display style to show time left/ percent time left/ percent time elapsed.

Note that current track position is saved and startup track can restart from this position if you check the "Last track at last position" startup mode in Parameter View / startup.

The Jajuk rating system

Jajuk comes with an automatic rating system that learns tracks your like the most based on the frequency you listen to them. Current system works this way: +1 if a track is listen more than 20 seconds, +1 if a track is listen to the end. Notes:
