This is an excerpt from the main AMPlay documentation (v2.03).

* 4.1 Player:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* 4.1.1 Playback Order:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This has three menus that allow you to explicitly set the playback
order for artists, albums and tracks. This is equivalent to the buttons
on the main window itself.

Total chaos mode (randomly change the playback order each time
something is picked) can also be enabled here.

'Pick items relative to the last history item':

This is a subtle one. If you are in a mode where the selection level is
linear - e.g. Artists:Ignore, Albums:Linear, Tracks:Random/Shuffled,
but the current history position is not at the end of the history, what
should happen if you adjust-click next to force it to pick the next
item now?

If this option is off, it will pick the 'next' item as being the album
that linearly follows the currently playing album.

If this option is on, it will pick the 'next' item as being the album
that linearly follows the last album in the history.

Loop playback:

This used to be a main window icon, but is now just an option (the
repeat icon replaced it on the main window). If set, and the selection
level is linear, then when the last item in the database is reached it
will continue from the beginning. Otherwise it will stop.

If the selection level is random, then this option has no effect as it
never reaches an end as such.


4.1.2 Behaviour:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This allows you to set the auto-next and auto-repeat options. These are
the same as they are on the main window.

If playing, play will:

This determines what the Play button on the main window does in the
case where a track is already playing. You can choose from Pause,
Next, Stop, Ignore, or Restart.

Volume change rate:

This determines how much the volume changes when you click Select or
Adjust on the volume control on the main window.  The default value
is 4, the range is 1-16.

Set Volume, Volume:

This determines whether AMPlay overrides the default AMPlayer volume on
startup, and if so, what to. Range is 1-127.


4.1.3 Player Window:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Main window always on top, Mini window always on top:

These set the default always on top flags for the two window types.

Use mini window by default:

Fairly self-explanatory.
