🎶 Playing music on your SpotiStation

The main music playback interface of your SpotiStation is very simple. After booting, you should see album cover art of a song (perhaps with a paused overlay on top of it).

In this mode, there are 4 main things a basic user can do

1. Play or Pause the music with the ⏯️ play/pause button
2. Adjust the volume with the 🔊 volume slider
3. Skip the current song with ↕️ side button 1 (the one closest to you)
4. Switch to the next playlist with ↕️ side button 2

That's basically all there is to it!

Details

Playback controls (play pause, skip, playlist) can also be controlled via other devices such as a mobile phone or tablet. So you can have music playing on the SpotiStation but pause it from your mobile phone.

If you press one of the ⏏️ back buttons, you will put the player in 🔒 lock mode. This will prevent any music playback until the next night-time cycle. This is a feature for administrators that can be used if a quiet day is required 😉. For more details consult the lock mode page
