# CD Player Controls

Underneath the "LCD" display is a panel of buttons that allow you to control CD playing in Grip. These buttons function as follows:

- `Play/Pause` — Causes the selected track to play if it is stopped or paused. If a track is currently playing, it will go into pause mode.

- `Rewind` — While this button is held down, Grip will move backward in the currently playing track.

- `FastForward` — While this button is held down, Grip will more forward in the currently playing track.

- `Previous track` — If a track is currently playing near the beginning of a track, this will rewind to the beginning. Otherwise, it will skip to the previous track.

- `Next track` — This will skip to the next track.

- `Track Mode` — This brings up the track mode interface, described in the section called Track Mode Selector.

- `Stop` — Stops track playback.

- `Eject` — Opens or closes the cdrom tray.

- `Volume` — Toggles display of the volume control slider interface.

- `Track Edit` — This brings up the track editing interface described in ...

- `DiscDB` — This initiates lookup of the CD over the network, or aborts a disc lookup currently in progress.

- `Min/Max` — Toggles between the "full" and "cd-only" (shown in Figure 2) display modes.
