General settings

Player and Playlist

Begin playback on start. Default: On. When starting Nemp, start playing the music directly, without having to click Play additionally. The playback starts with the track that was heard last.
Remember last track position. Default: On. When Nemp is started, the last track played is started at the point where Nemp was previously stopped, not at the beginning.
If applicable: Start playback with new file. Default: On. If Nemp was started by double-clicking on an mp3 file, then this track will be played, and not the one that was active when Nemp was last started.
Switch to enqueued file (even if another track is already playing). Default: Off. If an mp3 file is double-clicked in Windows Explorer and thereby passed to Nemp, then the current playback is interrupted and the newly inserted track is played immediately.

Media library

Load media library on start. Default On. The last media library created is automatically loaded and displayed.
Save media library on close. Default On. The current media library is automatically saved when Nemp is closed.

Windows

Show splash screen. Default: On. Shows a splash screen at startup with some small hints about the progress of the loading process.
Allow multiple instances. Default: Off. Usually Nemp should run only once, further starts are prevented. With this option Nemp can be started multiple times.
Start minimized. Default: Off. Nemp starts minimized without bringing the window to the foreground or displaying it.
Show TrayIcon. Default: Off. Adds a Nemp icon to the tray area of the taskbar.

For an explanation of the customization options if you want to use Nemp on multiple devices, see section USB-Discs, the cloud and portability.

Automatically check for new versions of Nemp. Default: Off. Nemp can check if there is a new version at the specified interval and then display a corresponding message. Download and installation must be done manually.
Notify on Beta releases. Default: Off. Also notify if there is not yet a new stable version, but only a pre-release version in which there may be more bugs than should be the case in the final version.

Nemp can react to the PC being hibernated.

Stop player when system hibernates. Default: On. Stops the player so that when the PC wakes up and the user is supposed to log in, the music playback does not run.
Reinitialize player engine on wakeup. Default: Off. On some systems, a re-initialization of the player is necessary when the PC is resumed from sleep mode. Usually not necessary.
