# FreeAmp Main Window

FreeAmp is an MPEG audio player you use to playback your MP3 files and audio CDs.

FreeAmp includes a My Music feature that searches your computer for your MP3 files and playlists and then creates a collection of your music in one place, automatically!

You also use the My Music window to choose which music tracks to play and to create or modify your playlists.

FreeAmp plays files created using CBR (Constant Bitrate) and VBR (Variable Bitrate) encoding methods.

### Display Area

| During playback, the display area of FreeAmp shows the title of the track, the bitrate, the sample rate, and the channel mode of the track. By clicking on the time indicator, you can toggle between the current time in the track and the remaining time.

| Equalizer opens the Equalizer to adjust the speaker balance and sound.

| Help opens the HTML-based Help topics for FreeAmp. The help topics are viewed using your default browser.

| View switches between 3 different sizes of FreeAmp views (Normal, Medium, and Mini). Each smaller view contains less features. However, the available features in each view of the player work the same way.

| Minimize places FreeAmp on your Windows taskbar.

| Quit closes the player.

| Volume Control Slider controls the playback volume. Moving the Volume Control Slider to the right increases the volume. Moving the Volume Control Slider to the left decreases the volume. Note: The Volume Control Slider is only available when an MP3 file is loaded.
| Seek Slider moves the playback position in the track. The left position represents the beginning of the track. The right position represents the end of the track. As you move the Seek Slider, the playback position time is indicated on the FreeAmp Main Window. Note: Seeking is unavailable when playing streams.
| Relatable Signature Indicator is highlighted when Relatable is generating signatures.

### Buttons
