All the Database commands are available regardless of the power state, except for Command 05, Play which will return an error response if attempted during standby. The groups, styles, and custom genres are grouped into system groups and user groups. The System Music Groups (sorted by Artist) have groupings such as the All group, CDs group, MP3 group, and Playlists groups. The User Music Groups (sorted by Artist) contain the genres for your music and your custom genres that have been created. The System HardDrive Music Groups (sorted by Artist) are a subset of the System Music Groups (sorted by Artist) and filter out media that does not exist on the hard drive. The User HardDrive Music Groups (sorted by Artist) are a subset of the User Music Groups (sorted by Artist) and also filter out media external to the hard drive. The All radio station group and the NetRadio group are contained in the radio system groups while all other radio stations are in the user groups. Likewise, the All movie group is in the movie system group while all other movie genres are in the user groups. Titles are returned listed in alphabetical order by title regardless of the state of the user interface.
