Supported formats for frontend music
Batocera 5.23+ supports .mp3 and .ogg files.
Batocera 5.26+ additionally supports .wav, .flac (stereo) and popular popular chiptune mod tracker formats (.mod, .xm, .s3m, .stm, .far, .mtm, .669, .it).
Also, starting with Batocera 5.26, you can skip a song you don't like by pressing the L3 button, or from the “Quit” shortcut menu: press select
button on your controller, then you see an option to SKIP TO NEXT SONG
if a song is playing.
System-specific music folders
Some users like to have different songs played back when browsing different gaming systems. For example, they like to listen to some Sega-oriented themes while they are browsing their Megadrive library, and Nintendo-inspired songs when browsing their SNES games.
In order to do this on Batocera, you can create subfolders in your /userdata/music/
directory and put some Sega-inspired MP3 or OGG files in /userdata/music/megadrive/
folder, and others more Nintendo-like into /userdata/music/snes/
.
If you enable ONLY PLAY SYSTEM-SPECIFIC MUSIC FOLDER
, you will only get a random selection of the songs located in /userdata/music/megadrive/
when you browse your Megadrive games, but none from your SNES subfolder.
Warning: the song files that are present in /userdata/music/
will be picked up randomly for any system (whether you have system-specific songs or not).
If you disable ONLY PLAY SYSTEM-SPECIFIC MUSIC FOLDER
, Batocera will randomly pick up a song in your /userdata/music/
directory and any of its sub-folders.
