Sound
Crossfade, volume levels, normalization, equalizer, spatial audio and playing on MPD.
Everything here applies to songs Glyph plays itself, not to the embedded YouTube or SoundCloud players.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Crossfade | 0–20 seconds between songs |
| Volume level | Loud, Normal or Quiet overall |
| Normalize volume | every song at the same loudness |
| Equalizer | 10 bands, presets, your own curves; share them as code or file |
| Output | the system default or a chosen device |
Mono, stereo and spatial
Settings › Playback › Sound (or right-click the volume button):
- Mono plays everything on both sides.
- Stereo plays songs as they are.
- Spatial keeps the speaker positions of surround songs (5.1, 7.1) and renders them for headphones with a head model (HRTF): sounds come from where they were placed. Stereo songs sound wider and outside your head.
Play on another computer (MPD)
Glyph can send songs to a Music Player Daemon on
another computer and act as its remote. Enter host:port (or
password@host:port) under Settings › Playback. Sources that only work in an
embedded player keep playing on this computer.
Background animation
The glowing background drops to 10 fps while Glyph is not the active window. Turn Save energy in the background off to keep full speed.
