* 4.9.1 Errors:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Report Errors from AMPlayer:

If, during playback, the AMPlayer module detects any errors in the mp3
file it is playing, this error will be reported in the artist
field on the main window.
(Note that current versions of the AMPlayer module can occasionally
report spurious errors when jumping to a point in a file).


Report ID v2 Tag messages:

AMPlayer reports an error if it encounters an ID v2 tag in a file, and
there is no ID v2 tag handler present. AMPlay does not handle these
tags at present. This option allows such errors to be ignored.


Report file not found errors:

This pops up a warning when it tries to play a file from the database,
and can't find it. You might want to turn this off if your MP3 are not
all available at once (e.g. they're on CDs)
  

Try to continue playing after errors:

This tells it whether to try playing another track after a file not
found error.

This is to try to avoid the situation where, say, a network drive is
unavailable, and it would otherwise go through several thousand files,
giving a file not found error on each one...


* 4.9.2 Advanced:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set AMPlayer buffer to:

This will set the AMPlayer$buffer variable to the specified value on
startup. AMPlayer can be configured with different buffer sizes for
different filing systems, so if you have already configured this
elsewhere, you can tell AMPlay to leave the settings alone.

AMPlay defaults to leaving the buffer alone if there is already one
set, but setting it if there isn't one.

You can do much more useful things with the AMPlayer$Buffer
variables - refer to the AMPlayer module documentation for more
information on this.

Use X modifier to create ext. name block:

This determines how AMPlay creates an extended name block when editting
a pathname based name for the first time. If set, it uses the X
modifier to attempt to strip the leading track number and other
characters from the start of the track name.

This arises because the pathname based name just has track, album and
artist name information, whereas the name block has track name and
track number as separate fields.

See also the FAQ on track numbering (section 6.21).

Prefer single filters active concurrently:

If set, this causes the filters system to behave more like AMPlay 1.5x
did in that select clicks to activate one filter will inactivate the
others. (Adjust clicks will still allow multiple filters to be active
concurrently).


X Modifier special characters:

See section 2.12.5 on Advanced Modifiers for more information about
the X modifier.

This allows you to define extra characters that will cause the X
modifier to stop when it is trimming characters from the front of
a string. All alphanumerics are included by default, you only need
to add any punctuation etc characters here. The default is '([{./\',
which allows any of the left brackets, and the full stop. The '/' is
included to allow for cases where the track name is derived from the
path to the file, and therefore has '/' or '\' characters that get
changed to '.'s later on (if the relevant option is set).

For example, if the full stop was not included, the X modifier might
trim;

02 - ...and justice for all

to;

and justice for all

Whereas with it included you would get;

...and justice for all
