Preferences Reference

This covers Windows/Linux's Preferences dialog. The Android app doesn't have a separate Preferences screen - watched folders/files are managed from the Library tab instead (see Getting Started), and it has no update-checking or close-to-tray settings to configure.

The full list of settings available under Preferences:

Setting Description
Watched Folders Folders scanned for supported audio files. Add/remove any time.
Scan watched folders on startup Rescans every watched folder each time the app opens.
Background rescan every N minutes Periodically rescans in the background while the app is running (5–720 minutes).
Check for updates on startup Checks for a newer version each time the app starts. See Updating.

Additional behaviour configured elsewhere in the app:

  • Close button behaviour (File menu / window close button) — choose whether closing the main window minimises to the system tray or exits the app entirely.
  • Repeat mode and EQ settings are remembered automatically between sessions.
