Playing & Previewing

The floating audio player sits at the bottom of your screen, ready whenever you want to listen to a track. It appears automatically when you start playing any song from your library, giving you quick access to playback controls without leaving the page you’re on.

Opening the Player

The player activates when you click the play button on any track in your grid or playlist. Once playing, the player slides up from the bottom of the screen and stays visible as you navigate through different sections of the app.

You can close the player by clicking the X button in the top-right corner of the player bar. Closing the player stops playback entirely. Clicking play on another track will reopen it immediately.

Playback at a Glance

The center of the player has play/pause, skip, and progress controls. Press the spacebar from anywhere in the app to toggle play/pause. Drag the progress bar to jump to any point in a track. For a full walkthrough of transport buttons, seeking, volume, and keyboard shortcuts, see The Waveform Player.

Track Information and Favorites

The left section of the player displays the currently playing track’s artwork, name, and artist. Click the heart icon next to the track name to mark it as a favorite. This adds it to your favorites collection so you can quickly find tracks you love when sorting or filtering your library.

Queue and Playback Modes

Click the queue icon on the right side of the player to see upcoming tracks. You can also toggle shuffle and repeat modes to customize playback order. For details on reordering, clearing the queue, and repeat options, see The Waveform Player.

Playing from Different Sources

The player works seamlessly whether your audio files are stored locally or in your connected Dropbox account. Dropbox tracks stream automatically when you press play — no manual download needed. Local files start instantly.
