Player Controls

The BeatPass player gives you full control over your listening experience. Here’s how to use each control.

Main Playback Controls

The center of the player bar contains the primary playback buttons:

Play / Pause

  • Play — Click the play button (▶) to start or resume playback
  • Pause — Click the pause button (⏸) to pause the current track
The button toggles between these two states depending on whether music is playing.

Previous / Next

  • Previous (⏮) — Go back to the previous track in your queue
  • Next (⏭) — Skip to the next track in your queue
If you’re more than a few seconds into a track, clicking Previous first restarts the current track. Click it again quickly to go to the actual previous track.

Shuffle

The shuffle button randomizes the order of tracks in your queue:
  • Off — Tracks play in their original order
  • On (highlighted) — Tracks play in random order
Click the shuffle icon to toggle between these modes. When active, the icon appears highlighted in your theme’s accent color.

Repeat

The repeat button cycles through three modes:
  1. Off — Queue plays once, then stops
  2. Repeat All — After the last track, playback loops back to the first
  3. Repeat One — The current track repeats continuously
The icon changes to show which mode is active:
  • Normal icon = Off
  • Highlighted icon = Repeat All
  • Icon with “1” indicator = Repeat One

Seekbar and Time

The seekbar shows your position in the current track:
  • Current time — Displayed on the left (e.g., “1:45”)
