4 Music Application

4.1Playing Music

This is the music player application. When you click on this icon in the main screen, you will be sent directly to the Music Browser. From the music browser you can create a playlist of songs or you can just select songs to listen to.

3.In the left pane, highlight a song and click the PLAY button. The song will be added to the Playlist. To add a folder, click the menu button and select “Add to Playlist” from the File menu.

4.Various playlist commands exist in the pull-down menu or in the playlist window.

To navigate between File, Display and Playlist menus, use the RIGHT and LEFT control of the navigation pad.

1.Choose to access your music by browsing folders or by music characteristics. When you play a song, all songs from the group (for example, from the same album) will be added to the Playlist and the selected song will start playing.

2.To create a Playlist, click the RIGHT button and the Playlist panel will appear. Alternatively, you can tap the Playlist icon on the upper menu bar (see the circle).

Note: If tracks are displayed in the right panel, this means a Playlist is already open. Close this list by clicking on the Playlist icon with the red cross.

5.When you save a playlist, it will be saved to the Root folder. Using the File Browser, move the Playlist into the Music folder. When you now update the ARCLibrary it will then also be available in the Playlist category.

6.Clicking the play button on a Playlist will load the Playlist and then start playing the first song of the list.

The main screen of the music application is shown below. The icons in the bottom left corner let you access the music browser screen (to add more songs into the currently playing list of songs), the Playlist screen (to see what songs are in the current Playlist), and the Equalizer screen (to adjust the sound quality).
