The OTR Player is a MP3/OGG player designed to play Old Time Radio (OTR) shows. It is designed for shows with low MP3 or OGG bit rates, mono, and 22050 sample rates. Many MP3 players have problems with these kind of files. This program provides functionality unique to listening to OTR. Features include a pitch control, last location saved, forward and reverse seeking, and fast key control.
The Configuration tab allows you to configure certain items of the player. The settings selected will remain even after restarting the player. The only unique item on this tab is the Remove Files Listented Too button. The player keeps track of all the files that you have listened too. By pressing this button all of these files will be removed from the system.
The first part of the Configuration tab allows one to assign certain functions to the top row of 5 buttons. The buttons from left to right are: Calendar, Address, Home, Menu, and Email. The functions that can be selected are: No Selection, Volume Up, Volume Down, Fast Forward, Fast Rewind, Play, Stop, and Play/Stop. The Play/Stop function allows a single button to alternate between Play and Stop. Following these selections is the ability to select the duration of Fast Forward and Fast Rewind. The values specified are in seconds.
The last item on this tab allows one to select the font size on the Player tab for the file list.
The Dirs tab allows you to set the directories to be searched. As a default, it is configured with three directories: /home/root, /mnt/card, and /mnt/cf. With the tree option set for all three. Under most circumstances this will never need to be changed. You can if needed select the directories you want to search. The tree option will start at the directory specified and search its contents and all subdirectories under this directory at any level. The directory "/home/root" refers to the internal storage memory. The directory "/mnt/card" refers to the SD memory card if you have one. The directory "/mnt/cf" refers to the compact flash card if you have one. You can still specify the directory even if you do not have the memory card inserted.
