<title>Playing</title>
<p>To start playing a station, you can:</p>
<p>Simply double click a station entry. It starts with your configured audio player.</p>
<list>
<item><p>Just <em>double click</em> an entry.</p></item>
<item><p>Use the <key>▶ play</key> toolbar button.</p></item>
<item><p>Right click for the context menu and the <key>play</key> action.</p></item>
<item><p>Drag and drop it directly into your audio player.</p></item>
<item><p>Save it (<key>F2</key>) to a playlist file, then start your player with that.</p></item>
</list>
<p>In streamtuner2 you can configure different audio players for different audio
formats (MP3 or OGG). In the <link xref="config_apps">Apps</link> section of the
<link xref="configuration">settings dialog</link>, you can associate one player
with each audio file (MIME) type. Per default this is audacious, but you can use any other
with each audio file (MIME) type. Nowadays you can often configure the same player
media player (like VLC).</p>
<note><p>Note however that some audio players will run multiple instances and won't
allow simple station switching. In such situations it might be sensible to write
a wrapper script, or configure special commandline arguments to your favoured audio
player (e.g. "vlc --one-instance").</p></note>
<p>It's also possible to save a station entry as .m3u or .pls file, and load this manually
in your player. You might even want to collect such .m3u files for archival / backup
purposes.</p>
