Set up Marquee and Autolisten

Marquee is only worth it if it runs a whole side without you touching it. Set it up once and leave it.

How do I set it up?

  1. Plug the phone in and turn off battery saver.
  2. Kebab (3 dots) > Marquee (open it).
  3. The first time, a four-step guide runs: what Marquee is, plug it in, connect Last.fm, add your gear. You can get it back any time from the dock's 3-dot menu > Help & setup.
  4. Allow the microphone when it asks. Listening starts on its own.

Can the phone sit sideways?

Yes, in the iPhone and Android apps, and Marquee rearranges itself. Apart from a live drive in Driving Mode, the rest of the app stays upright on a phone.

How long does it listen?

Dock 3-dot menu > Autolisten. Pick 1H, 2H, 3H, 4H or AUTO. The default is 3H. Tap Extend 2h to add time to a timed session.

  • AUTO has no timer. The mic stops after 20 minutes with nothing recognised, or after 3 hours if it never caught a record.
  • A timed session also stops after those 20 quiet minutes once a record has played.
  • When the mic stops you'll see Mic paused. Tap Resume listening. Mic blocked means iOS or Android has the mic turned off for Gatefold. Mic didn't start: tap Try again.
  • The mic stops when the app goes to the background or the screen locks, and starts again when you come back.

How do I get out of it?

Tap the screen to bring up the dock, then press and hold Hold to exit, or dock 3-dot menu > Exit Marquee. The controls hide again after three seconds.

Can I ask the Clerk about the record?

  • Yes. While a record is up, Ask the Clerk in the dock starts a Clerk chat. Free accounts get 15 quarters a month, shared with every Clerk feature, and one quarter buys 5 chat sessions. MOSH is unlimited.
