= Main menu > Audio =

This menu controls the playback of an audio recording that you would have made to complement the GPS tracks you collected during surveying.

If you are audio mapping a lot, you will probably want to use the [wiki:/Help/Preferences/Toolbar Toolbar Preferences] to put the buttons for audio playback on your toolbar in the familiar arrangement of such controls.

== Menu items ==

|| [[Image(source:/trunk/images/audio-playpause.png)]] || [wiki:/Help/Action/PlayPause Play/pause] || {{{period}}} ||
|| [[Image(source:/trunk/images/audio-next.png)]] || [wiki:/Help/Action/NextMarker Next Marker] || {{{F8}}} ||
|| [[Image(source:/trunk/images/audio-prev.png)]] || [wiki:/Help/Action/PreviousMarker Previous Marker] || {{{F5}}} ||
|| [[Image(source:/trunk/images/audio-fwd.png)]] || [wiki:/Help/Action/Forward Forward] || {{{F7}}} ||

|| [[Image(source:/trunk/images/audio-slower.png)]] || [wiki:/Help/Action/SlowForward Slower] || {{{Shift-F9}}} ||

As well as these controls, you can jump directly to a point in the sound track related to a position on the GPX track by
  * dragging the orange play head arrow [[Image(source:/trunk/images/markers/audio-tracer.png,10)]] close to a trackpoint
    * if you don't see the orange play head arrow [[Image(source:/trunk/images/markers/audio-tracer.png,10)]] moving along the track while you play audio, make sure the 'Display live audio trace' option in [wiki:/Help/Preferences/Audio Audio Preferences] is on.
  * clicking on an audio marker [[Image(source:/trunk/images/markers/speech.png)]]

See [wiki:/Help/AudioMapping Audio Mapping] for techniques you might adopt to make efficient use of audio recordings.
