- DerMixD, starting with version 1.4.0, can
analyse the volume of a track, either by peak or
by a power algorithm. Using this feature, Partyman
can automatically set the volume, so that each track
is played at the same volume level.
Partyman Settings:
- Connect On Startup
- Check this if you're too lazy to press the
"Connect" button.
- Crossfade Time:
- The number of seconds both player should play
at the same time.
- Show Tray Icon:
- The tray icon serves two purposes: first it'll let you
start, stop, pause, or skip without the need on bringing
the window to a visible place; second when you move your
mousepointer over it, it'll show the currently played track.
Click on it to play, pause and resume, double-click on it
for skipping to the next track.
- With Bubble:
- Additionally the track can also be displayed when it starts
to play as a bubble from that tray icon.
- External Logger:
- Each action like playing a track, stopping, pausing
and skipping can be logged though an external application.
Here it can be specified. See the
Partyman
webpage (external link) for a more detailed explanation.
- Increase Track Played Counter On Skip:
- When you press "Next", the track will be counted as played,
if this option is checked.
Random Settings:
These settings only have an effect if the playlist is empty and
a track is chosen randomly from the database. If no tracks are
found corresponding to the settings, they will be ignored one by
one.
- Play Favorite Tracks Only

database.
- Play Least Played Tracks Only
- Each time a track has been played it is counted inside the
database. This settings only selects tracks that have the lowest
count.
- Play Folder:
- Only select tracks that are in this folder.
- Number Of Tracks An Artist Is Not Played Again:
- The artists of the last played tracks are remembered. This

Display Settings:

- Decides if the moveable splitter between playlist and tabs
(Help, Info, Search, Browse) is vertical or horizontal.
- Update Browser Tab
- This button initiates a rescan of the database for the
filesystem tree displayed "Browse"-Tab. Since this can be time
consuming and also resets the contents unfold state, it is not
done automatically.
- Start Kiosk Mode
- Enter a password and the player will be locked, so that the
track that's currently playing can not be interrupted or skipped.
The settings and quitting program are also locked. To regain full
functionality, click on the "Settings" button and enter the
password you used during locking or kill and restart Partyman.
Global Settings:
These settings are shared between all SLART applications.

track automatically to the clipboard or the selection buffer,
according to this setting.

window.
