If the files are MP3 or Wave files, and if they have not been played in OtsTurntables before, they will be checked and processed. For an explanation of what is occurring during processing click here.

Note: The processing of MP3 or Wave files will take a few moments per file, due to data being retrieved, analyzed and stored. This process is a once-off process due to the fact that the calculated information will be stored in an associated .OMX file.

Tip: With a command-line argument you are able to command OtsTurntables to automatically load a folder and randomize it. For instructions click here.
