Core Playback Controls
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Play/Pause | Starts or pauses the current item. |
| Previous | Moves to the previous item in the queue. |
| Next | Skips forward in the queue. |
| Shuffle | Randomizes queue order. |
| Repeat | Cycles repeat behavior for the current queue. |
| Seekbar | Jumps to a position in the current track. |
Desktop Player Layout
On desktop, the player bar is split into three practical areas:| Area | Current behavior |
|---|---|
| Left | Track image, track link, artist links, and a like button for the cued track. |
| Center | Playback controls plus the main seekbar. |
| Right | Queue toggle, and on larger screens lyrics, volume, and expand/collapse controls. |
Mobile Player Layout
Mobile uses two layers:- Mini player: track info, previous, play/pause, next, and the progress bar.
- Expanded overlay: the full track view with the larger control set, lyrics access, queue access, and the rest of the session controls.
Secondary Actions
These controls are conditional rather than guaranteed:- Queue appears when there is an active player session and lets you inspect upcoming tracks.
- Lyrics appears only when a track is cued and the instance has not hidden lyrics.
- Download appears only when downloads are enabled and the current track supports direct download. If your account does not have download access, the button can open the upgrade flow instead of downloading immediately.
- Volume is available on larger desktop layouts.
- Expand is available on larger desktop layouts when the video overlay button is enabled.
What Changes By Context
No track selected
No track selected
The player hides entirely until something is cued.
Mobile
Mobile
Desktop-only controls such as the volume slider move out of the bottom bar. Mobile keeps the compact transport visible and pushes advanced controls into the expanded overlay.
Instance settings
Instance settings
BeatPass administrators can hide certain features, such as lyrics or the expand button, so your player may expose fewer actions than another BeatPass deployment.
