Searching By First Letter

Any time you are viewing an alphabetical list of audio files or folders, you can go to the items starting with any letter by using your phone’s keypad to enter that letter.

Playing a List and Using Repeat and Shuffle

When you select an audio file to play, the audio player plays this audio file and then plays the other audio files grouped with it. The repeat and shuffle features help determine which of these songs are played.

If you are not using the repeat or shuffle features, the audio player plays the audio file you select and then plays the rest of the files in the list or folder, in the order they appear, until it gets to the end of the list or folder. The audio player then goes to the beginning of the list and pauses until you resume playing.

The repeat feature lets you set the audio player to play all the audio files in a list or folder, in order, starting again at the beginning of the list when it gets to the end, without pausing or stopping. It also lets you set the audio player to play one audio file repeatedly, starting over as soon as it ends.
