# Configuring Grip

The "Config" tab gives you access to a series of sub-tabs that allow you to configure the various functions of Grip. Each of these sub-tabs is described in detail in the following sections.

# The "CD" config tab

Figure 1. The "CD" config tab

This tab allows to you configure options associated with your cdrom device and CD playback. The options are:

- `CDRom device` — Specifies the CDRom device to be used for CD playback.

- `Don't interrupt playback on exit/startup` — If this option is checked, Grip will not stop a playing track when it is shut down. Also, if a CD is already playing when Grip starts, it will keep playing.

- `Rewind when stopped` — If this option is checked, Grip will rewind to the beginning of the disc whenever playback is stopped.

- `Startup with first track if not playing` — If this option is checked, Grip will always make the first track on the CD the current track if the CD is not currently playing. Otherwise, Grip will start with whatever track is currently set with the CDRom device.

- `Reshuffle before each playback` — If this option is checked, randomized playback will be re-randomized each time playback is restarted. Otherwise, the same random sequence will be reused.

- `Work around faulty eject` — If this option is set, Grip will not rely on querying the open/closed status of the CDRom tray.

- `Poll disc drive for new disc` — If this option is set, Grip will poll the disc drive to check if a new disc has been inserted.

- `Poll interval` — This specifies the number of seconds Grip waits between checks for a new disc.
