Wireless-B Media Adapter

Choose Music

The Choose Music screen, shown in Figure 6-3, lets you select the music you want to play. Select music by artist or genre. You can also select music by folder or playlist. Depending on your folders and files, you will see additional screens offering the available choices. Press the Select button to make a selection.

Note: To organize the music by category, such as artist or genre, your music files must be tagged with data. If you need to add or edit tags, use your media player software and refer to its documentation.

All Songs

Select All Songs to play every song in your shared music folder (see Figure 6-4). This is useful if you have a small collection of MP3 and WMA files or if you want to hear all the songs in your digital music library.

Artists or Genres

If you want to play all the songs by a certain artist or all the songs of a certain genre, such as jazz or classical, select Artists (see Figure 6-5) or Genres. If you choose an artist, then you will be asked to choose a specific album.

Playlists

To play certain songs in a specific sequence, choose a playlist. This screen displays the playlists that you have placed in your computer’s shared music folder.

The Adapter can play lists with either of these two extensions, .M3U and .ASX.

After you create a playlist, place it in the shared music folder. See “Appendix D: Creating a Playlist” for more information.

Folders

If you sort by Folder, you will see all the songs in a given folder. This is useful if you organize your music by folders on your computer.
