Roku Network Music Player Additional Playback Options, Playing a Playlist, Repeat and Shuffle

SECTION 4: ADDITIONAL PLAYBACK OPTIONS

Playing a Playlist

To play a playlist that you have created in your music jukebox software such as iTunes or Windows Media Player, select the Playlist option from the Home Menu []. Use your Up/ Down △ ▽ arrows to browse your playlists one by one, find the one you want to play, then press Play [�] to play all songs on the playlist immediately or Add [+] to add the playlist to your Song Queue. Playlists can include audio tracks, Internet radio streams, even iTunes’ Smart Playlists. If your playlist was created in Windows Media Player or other software using Windows Media Connect, be sure to save your playlist in the My Music/. My Playlist folder on your hard drive, or configure Windows Media Connect to share the directory on your hard drive containing the playlist.

Repeat and Shuffle

Pressing Repeat [] once makes your Song Queue play continuously. You will see the Repeat icon q displayed on the right side of your “Now Playing” screen below the Play � icon. Pressing Repeat again makes the current song play over and over; you will see another Repeat icon,

a circle with just one arrow . Press Repeat a third time and you will remove the repeat command altogether.

Pressing Shuffle [] while playing a Song Queue will give you the following options:

Shuffle On — will play everything in your Song Queue in random order. (The shuffled order

of songs will be displayed in the Song Queue.) An icon with two crossing arrows will be displayed on your Now Playing screen.

Shuffle Off — will play everything in your Song Queue in the original order.

You can execute the Repeat and Shuffle command from any menu in SoundBridge. Even though you can only see the mode change on the Now Playing screen, the command is taking effect.

Search Options

To search for a specific selection by spelling it out, you can press the Search [�] button on your remote control, or navigate down to the “Search” option from the Home Menu.

(Note: Unfortunately, Rhapsody and MusicMatch don’t support searching on SoundBridge at this time. If searching is not available, the Search menu item will not appear, and pressing the Search key on the remote will display a message.)

Whether you use the Search menu or the remote button, you will see the following options:

Search for Titles 4

Search for Albums

Search for Artists

Search for Composers

Search Keywords

Press Select on the option you would like to search with. Then, use your Left/Right ◁ ▷ arrows on the remote control to enter characters for spelling your selection and then pressing Select. When you are done spelling, use the Down ▽ button to go to the OK option and press Select. (If you make a mistake, use the Down ▽ button to go to the Delete option and press Select.)

Hint: Partial spelling is OK — the Search function searches for letters anywhere in the word, as opposed to just at the beginning. For example, to search for Radiohead, you can enter any combination of letters found in the word (“RA,” “DI,” “HE,” etc.), and the results will return all Artists containing those letters (e.g., if you enter “DI” you may get Radiohead, India Arie, and Diana Krall).

When you find the music you like, use the Add [+] button to add it to your Song Queue. If searching for albums or artists, you can press Select to navigate down to individual tracks.
