Your NOOK looks for audio files in these places:

In the my music and my audiobooks folders in your NOOK’s internal memory

In any top-level folders that you create in the internal memory or on a supplemental microSD card

Optionally, you can place audio files in subfolders if you want to organize the files hierarchically.

Playlist

Your NOOK creates one playlist (a series of audio files), which it assembles from all MP3 and OGG files in the locations mentioned in “Managing Audio Files” above.

You can play the playlist in unshuffled sequence or in a shuffled sequence:

The default, unshuffled sequence of the playlist is alphabetical by the titles of songs and audiobooks.

Shuffle the playlist by tapping the Shuffle icon on the audio player.

Re-shuffling (tapping the Unshuffle icon and then the Shuffle icon) gives you a different sequence.

When you view the playlist, you see the title and artist (or author for an audiobook). To view information about the album (or collection or volume for an audiobook), select the item to play it.

Playing an Audio File

You can play music while using your NOOK. You can launch the audio player from any the Home menu and from the Reader.

To play music:

1Tap audio on the Home menu or Open Audio Player in the Reader. Your NOOK displays the audio player on the touchscreen.

It can take a little while before the audio player displays an audio file. This is because it sometimes has to scan for audio files and construct a playlist.

2Tap the Play icon to play the currently selected audio file, or tap the Playlist icon to view the playlist and choose an audio file to play. When you choose the file, it starts playing and the audio player is displayed.
