Building a Song Queue
Let’s say you would now like to choose several different songs or selections to play in a row. This is called building a “Song Queue.” SoundBridge automatically builds a Song Queue every time you select a song or album to play. You can add to that list by navigating to your preferred music and pressing Add. The selection will be added to the end of the current Song Queue.
You may add a single song, an entire album, all songs by an artist, all songs in a genre, or any search result – just browse to the selection you prefer and press Add. For example, if you would like to play all songs by Coldplay, select the BROWSE ARTISTS option from the Main Menu/Browse option. Navigate to COLDPLAY in your artist list, and press Add. All songs on all albums by Coldplay will be played by album, in the order they appear on each album. For more information about browsing and searching options, see the “Browsing” and “Searching” sections later in this user guide.
You have several other options for building a Song Queue. After you press Select while browsing on a song, a “Song” menu appears with the following options:
1.Play, starting with the selected song (and clear previous Song Queue)
2.Get information about the selected song
3.Play the selected song only (and clear previous Song Queue)
4.Insert the selected song into the Song Queue (after the current song)
5.Add this song to the Song Queue (same as pressing the Add button)
Note that both “play” options 1 and 3 above are “destructive”; they will clear your previously existing Song Queue. The “add” and “insert” options, however, will add the selected song to your existing queue.
The first, “play these songs” option is described in the section above – it starts playing your album (or other browsed list), beginning with the current track.
Hint: Notice that “Play songs” is the first item in the menu. That makes it easy to play a list of songs, starting with a particular track. You can just
If you choose “Play songs” on any track in your selection, the entire list is added to the Song Queue, but playback starts on the chosen track. If you have the Repeat option selected, the earlier tracks in the queue will play after the last song (and so on indefinitely). If you have the Shuffle option selected, then the chosen track will play first, followed by all the other tracks in the list in random order.
The “Add song to Song Queue” option behaves similarly as the Add button – it places the current song at the end of your playlist. The “Insert song next in Song Queue” inserts the highlighted song to the Song Queue in second place, after the track that’s playing or paused currently.
You can add an almost unlimited number of songs to your Song Queue. Each selection will be played in the order it was entered (unless you have chosen to Shuffle your Song Queue).
Hint : After you have selected multiple songs to be played in turn, you can use the “Next
Track” : and “Previous Track” 9 buttons to skip from song to song in your Song Queue.
Reviewing a Song Queue
At any point, you can review what’s in your Song Queue by pressing the down arrow 6 from the Now Playing screen, which is the default screen that appears while SoundBridge is playing. The Now Playing screen looks something like this:
DON’T PANIC | 0:10/2:17 | 4 |
COLDPLAY PARACHUTES (2000) | ) | |
You can also press Exit several times from any point in your browsing; eventually, the Now Playing screen appears.
Alternatively, you can press Menu, then select the SHOW SONG QUEUE option. You will see the entire list of songs in your song queue; refer to the scroll bar on the right side of the screen to determine where in the list you are located. Press the Up/Down arrows 56to see the entire list of selections in your Song Queue. The currently playing selection is indicated by a speaker X icon.
You cannot save a Song Queue that you have created — it’s only held in memory temporarily and then erased when you build your next Song Queue. If you would like to build a Song
