# Preload flags

A 32-bit integer containing flags governing the preload operation.

## Overview

Only two flags are defined, and they are mutually exclusive. If this flag is set to `1`, the track is to be preloaded regardless of whether it is enabled. If this flag is set to `2`, the track is to be preloaded only if it is enabled.
