Finding music with the search function

The fastest way to ﬁnd music in your database is to use the search function. The Search box is located at the upper right corner of the music ﬁnder window.

Select the view you want to use for your search. In the Search box, type the name of the art- ist, composer, album, or track. As you type, the music ﬁnder will display only the entries with matching text. The matching text is displayed in red.

Note: Pressing Enter starts play at the top of the list.

Clicking the Show All button clears the Search box and any other search criteria in the music ﬁnder. This causes the music ﬁnder window to display all the music in the selected view.
