Once you have songs in the playlist, you can start with playback.
Simple press the playback button below the playlist, or start a specific song in the playlist with an doubleclick (or select and press Enter)
Playback may also start automatically after adding songs if Automatic playback is enabled.
In comparison to other players, Calaym has an additional "End song" button, but limited functionality for the "Previous song" button:
Playback buttons
 | Previous | Same as the Skip button, but going playlist backwards (except random repeat mode!) |
 | Play | Start playback, or restarts current song (not available for internet radio); |
 | Pause | Pause or unpause current playing song (mutes only for internet radio); |
 | Stop | Stops current song. When "Play next" is set, Calaym will not stop but repeal your "Play next" command.) |
 | Skip | Stops current song and plays the next one; "Remove played songs", "Stop after each song" and "MD Record Mode" options are ignored; "Remove manually skipped/ended songs" option is processed. |
 | End | Simulates the current song has ended and plays next one. "Remove played songs" option is ignored; "Remove manually s&kipped/ended songs", "Stop after each song" and "MiniDisk Record Mode" options are processed |
Playlist playback
You can also manually choose how to start a specific song in the playlist:
Select your song in the playlist, then use the Playlist menu (or right-click on the playlist);
Here you can choose between:
 | Start with skipping |
 | Start with simulated song end |
 | Play after the current song has ended. To undo such a "Play next" command, press "Stop" once (does not stop current song) |
Repeat button |
 | Single repeat song |
 | Play / repeat all songs |
 | Play random songs (also repeating) |
 | If hilighted, the intro mode is active |
Click the repeat mode button to quickly change repeate mode
Spectrum analyzer
The spectrum analyzer is very simple and not really accurate.
Toggle mode via doubleclick or the option in the setup dialog.
(In LED mode, the default spectrum analyzer is disabled, but the keyboard lights might be used instead)
