Searching for Music with the Remote or front Panel
You can enter the name of the song, artist or album you are looking for in two ways. In
each case, the cursor automatically advances three seconds after you press a button. If
the button you want next is different from the last button you pressed, you can proceed
as quickly as you want. If you have to press the same button consecutively, wait for the
cursor to advance before pressing the button again, or press the RIGhT arrow to move
on.
Tip: You don’t have to enter the entire album name, artist name, or song title
to search successfully; just enter the rst few letters and press RIGhT, then scroll
down through the results using the DOWN arrow.
Using the arrows or knob to enter letters or numbers:
1. Press the UP or DOWN arrows or turn the knob until the character you want is
displayed.
2. Press the RIGhT arrow or center of the knob once to advance one space to the
right.
3. Fix errors by pressing the LefT arrow or the BACK button.
4. After you’ve entered all of the text you want to use for the search, press the
RIGhT arrow twice to run the search.
Using the “cellphone” method to enter letters or numbers with the remote:
1. Press the black number buttons (2 – 9) one, two, three or four times for letters
and numbers.
2. Press the 0 (zero) button for a space.
3. Press the 1 button repeatedly to cycle through punctuation.
4. Press the LefT arrow to erase letters. Press and hold to erase more than one
character.
5. Press the RIGhT arrow when you are nished entering text to run the search.

You can use the remote control or the web interface to create playlists and save them
for later. Before you create and save a playlist, make sure you have specied a folder for
Transporter to use for saving playlists.
