# Using the main control screen

The main control screen allows you to control playback and volume, set song ratings, and toggle the settings of the active playlist. Using the playback controls you can play, pause, or stop the currently playing song as well as advancing forwards or backwards within the playlist. Tapping on the shuffle and repeat icons will toggle these settings on and off for the current playlist.

The playlist area displays all songs within the active playlist. You can select a new song to play by double-tapping on the song’s entry in the playlist. You can also make use of the playlist context menu by tapping and holding on a song name. A menu will appear giving you the option of playing the selected song, assigning it a star rating, or removing it from the playlist if the playlist is editable.

To automatically scroll the playlist to the position of the currently playing song tap on the song’s name in the song information area at the top of the screen.

The time counter in the song information area may be toggled between time elapsed and time remaining modes by tapping on it.
