# Command line options

- FX - if there is any active filter, deactivate it. It has no effect, if database update is set on startup.
- FIfiltername - filter track list from saved filter. Only one-word filter names can be used in command line!
- SA - select all tracks and play them. Useful after FI commandline option.
- SPx - shuffle and play "x" tracks. If "x" is omitted, default number for random selection will be used.
- ARx - select and play random artist. If "x" is set, MP3 Manager disregards artists with less than "x" tracks.
- ALx - select and play random album. If "x" is set, MP3 Manager disregards albums with less than "x" tracks. If "x" is omitted, MP3 Manager uses setting from Preferences.
- SH - shuffle selected tracks before starting play.
- EX - exit when done.
- OSD - On Screen Display - MP3 Manager is opened in special visual mode.

## Notes

- "Tip of the Day" is disabled at all in commandline mode.
- "Check if there is player already playing before starting new play" is disabled if "EX" parameter is set.
- You can combine parameters in any order.
- Case of parameters is not important.
- You can include up to 9 parameters. Repeating parameters are allowed (but not all combinations are logical:-) ).
