Shortcuts allow you to search for a track in your Jellyfin library using your Start Menu.

Enabling shortcuts

• Go to Options > Settings > Toggle "Use shortcuts" on

How does this work?

When you enable this, an small .ajAud file will be created for each track on your local computer

• These files can be located at C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AJ Audio

You do not have to manually index this location on your PC. Windows should do this for you.

Within this file is one line of text representing the song ID from Jellyfin. This is the only information this app needs to get your song located and started. This means each file is around ~33 bytes. 

Opening these files

When you enable shortcuts, AJ Audio will automatically associated .ajAud files with the app for you. 

• If you need to associate this file type manually, then you should associate .ajAud files with the ajAudioHelper.exe executable, not the player.exe.

Disabling shortcuts

If you turn these off, all of these shortcuts will be deleted from your computer, including the AJ Audio folder in your user folder.

Notes

Shortcuts are only applicable for media server users. They will not be created for local files you are playing from your PC.
