Here is a description of each of the items in this window:

Play a sound every __ (seconds / minutes / hours)

This setting allows you to control how often sounds are played. Enter a numeric value into the edit field, and choose seconds, minutes, or hours from the pop-up menu. At each interval, the media player is polled to see if it is busy. If the media player is not busy, a sound is played from the specified folder.

Play sounds (randlomly / alphabetically)

This setting allows you to instruct the Jukebox plugin to play sounds randomly or alphabetically. When the alphabetically radio button is enabled, the Jukebox plug-in sorts the sound list when it scans the Jukebox folder. The sort honors folders - sounds within the same folder are kept together in the alphabetical list. When the randomly radio buton is enabled, the Jukebox plug-in does not perform a sort when scanning the Jukebox folder, and sounds are played randomly.

Broadcast CTCP SOUND Message

When this option is checked, the Jukebox plug-in broadcasts CTCP SOUND messages when playing sounds. When this option is unchecked, the Jukebox plug-in does not broadcast CTCP SOUND messages.

Broadcast Message

You can supply a message to be broadcast when a sound is played. If this edit field is empty, no message is displayed. This edit field may contain custom message tags. See Custom Messages for an explanation of how custom messages work.

Jukebox Folder

You can choose the folder from which the Jukebox plugin plays sounds. Click Set to choose the folder. Click Clear to clear the folder.

Play sounds - in (location):

This feature allows you to tell the Jukebox plugin where sounds are played. You can specify the Current window, or you can specify a specific channel, or even to a nickname. If you specify "Console", or if the channel or nickname you specify does not exist, sounds are played locally. With this feature IRCmagic can function as a local random sound player.
