4 Music player mode (network and USB)

Music player mode plays audio files such as MP3s or WMAs from a computer on the local network, or from a USB Flash stick or hard drive.

To enter Music player mode, either press MODE until the display shows Music player or select MENU > MAIN MENU > MUSIC PLAYER.

Once in music player mode, press MENU button, then select either SHARED MEDIA, SHARED FOLDERS, USB PLAYBACK, PC SETTINGS, SYSTEM SETTINGS or MAIN MENU.

If you are already playing a music file, you can press LEFT rather than MENU to quickly return to the last visited branch of the menu tree. For example, suppose you were listening to the track Heat by the artist 50 Cent through browsing shared media as described in section 6.1 below. Pressing LEFT button would return you to the track listing for the album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ . Pressing LEFT again would list all 50 Cent albums. Pressing LEFT again would list all album artists, and so on.

4.1Shared media (from media server) Select MENU > SHARED MEDIA >

If you have set up shared media, you should see an entry consisting of <computer name>: <Shared media name>, for example JB-Laptop: Audio. If you have more than one computer sharing media, the alternatives are listed. Select the shared media you want to play.

From this point on, the menus are generated from the shared media server (typically Windows Media Player). The first menu shows a list of media types, for example Music, Video, Pictures and Playlists. The radio can only play music and playlists.

There is also a search function, which finds tracks in a similar way to Internet radio search.From Music, there are numerous ways of selecting tracks, including:

oGenre,

oArtist,

oAlbum,

oComposer,

oRating.

Once you have found a track you want to play, press ENTER button. The radio will play the selected track, then any further tracks that were listed on the same screen; usually this is the rest of the album.
