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:-) ).
