When in the "files" screen:

  • Up/Down - controls the file selection cursor
  • Right/Left - skip +4 or -4 in the file list
    • if left is pressed at the top of the file list, you will be sent up a folder.
  • A - play song / enter folder
  • B - up folder (or if at root of filesystem, you will go to "now playing")

When in the "now playing" screen:

  • A - play / pause song
  • B - exit to files screen

In the system menu, there is an options menu item titled "mode". This controls the current playing mode. The options are:

  • none - plays the song then stops
  • shuffle - plays a random song in the current folder
  • loop folder - plays all of the songs in the folder, then loops back to the top and continues
  • loop one - loops one song
  • queue - enters queue mode. more info on queue mode below.

Queue mode

In queue mode, you can queue up songs to be played. Shuffles through songs in the last folder once the queue list is empty.

Controls:

  • A - add song to queue (can be done multiple times for one song)
  • B on italicised song - remove song from queue
  • B on regular/bolded song - play queue (when in /music/ directory) / up folder (any other directory)

Exiting queue mode (by going to 'now playing' screen) will switch the mode back to 'none' if no songs were selected.

Settings

Other settings can be accessed via the "settings" menu item. Here you will find various settings such as toggling dark mode and the 24 hour clock.

  • Up/Down - select setting
  • A - toggle setting
  • B - return to last screen

Adding songs

To add songs to musik, follow these steps:

  1. Put your Playdate into data disk mode (you can do this by opening settings and navigating to settings / system / reboot to data disk)

  2. Connect your Playdate to your computer and open the PLAYDATE drive

  3. Navigate to /Data/user.*****.musik/music/ or /Data/user.*****.com.nano.musik/music/

  4. Drag and drop your MP3s / PDAs!

    NOTE: Musik also supports folders, so long file names shouldn't be a problem...? (Let me know if it is and I'll see what I can do)
