Music Mode always runs using a "play list," even if this consists of a single song. You can copy pre-made play list files from your PC to your iWAY and play the songs in these play lists by selecting them from the song browser. It's just as easy to organize your music when you copy it to the iWAY, by arranging it into folders from your computer. That way you can simply play a folder at a time. When you select a folder to play, the iWAY automatically creates a play list out of all of the songs con- tained in that folder.

Later in this section we'll explain how to play folders, how to copy music and play lists from your PC, and how to manage all of them on the iWAY.

Using the Play Control Buttons

All of the play control buttons are fairly straightforward, and are probably already familiar to you. The portion of the screen we're refer- ring to as play control buttons looks like this:

Song Position slider

Previous

 

Next

Volume control slider

Song

Play /

Song

Stop

Pause

The Music Mode Play Control Buttons.

Song Position indicates the playback position in the currently playing song. Whenever a song begins playing, the Song Position slider begins at the far left and moves right. You can quickly skip to a different point in the currently playing song by pressing and dragging the blue button on the Song Position slider to the right (to fast forward) or to the left (to rewind).

Previous Song skips to the beginning of the previous song in the cur- rent play list and starts it playing. Hold this button down to fast re- verse the currently playing song.

Next Song skips to the beginning of the next song in the current play list and starts it playing. Hold this button down to fast forward the cur- rently playing song.

Play will play the currently selected song or play list, starting at the beginning. If you haven't chosen a play list or song yet, pushing Play will automatically generate a play list from all the songs on your iWAY's music drive. When a song is playing, the Play button is re- placed by a Pause button.
