Formats: | MP3, WAV, AU, AMR, MIDI, RMF, |
| iMelody |
Features: | Playlists, Loop, Automatic pause |
Songs may be stored in the internal P800 user storage and on Memory Stick. The folder system enables the user to organise songs into groups and create simple playlists of MP3 songs. It also allows songs to be moved between internal and Memory Stick storage.
Songs may be collected in numerous ways, including internet download, file transfer from the PC using SyncStation and, of course, Memory Stick.
The Audio Player is intelligently aware of other applications on the P800:
•Playback is paused when a telephone call is made or received
•Playback is paused if the user starts another application which requires the audio channels to be dedicated to it.
•Playback of MP3 files continues if the user switches to another FO application or closes the flip, providing music whilst using other applications such as PIM or Messages.
The Audio Player is started from the Application
Launcher and is accessed in Flip Open mode.
Folder ‘All’ is selected. It contains the songs listed in the lower half of the screen.
‘My music 4’ is currently selected. Details are displayed at the top of the screen including type and duration. MP3 song information is read from ID3 tags in the file and includes artist, album, filename and copyright. ID3 1.x and 2.0 is supported.
In list view 
audio files are presented in a list and may be played one by one.
In playlist view 
songs can be played in a consecutive list one after the other. A Loop function enables the playlist to be repeated automatically, providing continuous music.
By default Audio lists only MP3 files, since this is most convenient for using the application as a personal music player. Other audio material can be viewed by selecting Edit, Preferences and ticking the required file types. Select ‘Other’ to see RMF and iMelody files.
