This area will compile all the information available for using Galicaster day by day.
Galicaster has two main modes: Recorder and Media Manager. To access the Media Manager - and the player - you need to active the administration mode on the configuration.
Once activated, if you run Galicaster the main page will welcome you and allow you to chose between Recoder and Media Manager. You can return to the main page any time you want, as shown on the graphic below. If the administration mode is disable, only the recorder it's available.

h5. Recording

We will take a brief tour through some captures and see what's in it.
*Top Bar*
In the top bar you will find a button to return to the main page and the Status . You also have a clock, we think it will be very useful.
The Status Area will show you the current state of the recording, shifting between Iddle, Waiting, Recording and Stopped. Basically, you want to know if the program is actually recording or not.

Buttons will allow you to manage a manual recording, starting and stopping it at will. On administration mode the Help Button will transform into the Edit Button, making possible to edit some metadata of the recording, so it can be identified easily on the Media Manager.
Pausing will be available on upcoming releases soon.
