Stylus and cartridge hours

A stylus wears out by the hour, and nobody remembers the hours. Marquee keeps count every time it hears a record, and shows it on screen.

How do I add my cartridge?

  1. Kebab (3 dots) > Settings > Equipment.
  2. Tap + Add a cartridge. Adding a turntable is optional.
  3. Already broken in? Set Current hours before you save.
  4. Pick the one that's mounted now in the Mounted cartridge list.

What counts toward the hours?

  • The first time Marquee logs an album each local day, the album's running time goes onto the mounted cartridge. Playing it again that evening doesn't count twice.
  • No mounted cartridge, no hours. Nothing breaks.
  • Nothing counts until you've added a cartridge and mounted it.

Where do I see the hours?

Dock 3-dot menu > Cartridge shows your setups, lets you switch the mounted one, and draws Stylus hours as a meter that goes green, amber, red. Add or edit rigs in Settings › Equipment takes you back out.

How do I fix the count?

On the mounted cartridge in Equipment: Edit hours to type a number, or Replaced it? Reset hours after a new stylus.
