Music Browser

There are a number of ways to browse and access the music of your choice. Touching an item on the music browser allows you to view another level and displays another page on the touchpanel. The process of making a series of selections from the music browser creates a browse path. As the browse path lengthens, the items listed within the music browser should match the music of your choice. For example, from the music browser on the Music Library page, you can view all the tracks on a particular artist’s album by selecting Artist (i.e., The B-52’s) and Album (i.e., Time Capsule), as shown below.

All the options from the Music Library page are also available from any browsed page. New features on this page include:

Browse level (for this example, the target is all the tracks on the Time Capsule album by the B-52’s)

Play / Add toggle – selection (on the large touchpanels, 10 inches or more) provides alternating Add to Queue and Play buttons for the items listed within the music browser.

BUTTON

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

Allows selection to be added to end of the

 

play queue.

 

 

 

Provides immediate playback of a particular

 

selection for instant access to your music.

 

 

For touchpanels less than 10 inches, the Add to Queue button appears by default. To switch to the Play button, select the Options button first.

Back button – selection jumps back to the previously displayed page.

NOTE: The Search button (or A-Zbutton for touchpanels less than 10 inches) only appears as a ‘jump to’ button at the Album and Track browse level assuming that albums are sorted by the artist’s name and tracks are sorted by song title (or name). The Search button does not perform a ‘global’ search at other browse levels.
