You may add a single song, an entire album, all songs by an artist, all songs in a genre, or any search result – just browse to the selection you prefer and press Add. For example, if you would like to play all songs by Coldplay, select the BROWSE ARTISTS option from the Main Menu/Browse option. Navigate to COLDPLAY in your artist list, and press Add. All songs on all albums by Coldplay will be played by album, in the order they appear on each album. For more information about browsing and searching options, see the “Browsing” and “Searching” sections later in this user guide.

You have several other options for building a Song Queue. After you press Select while browsing on a song, a “Song” menu appears with the following options:

1.Play, starting with the selected song (and clear previous Song Queue)

2.Get information about the selected song

3.Play the selected song only (and clear previous Song Queue)

4.Add this song to the Song Queue (same as pressing the Add button)

Note that both “play” options 1 and 3 above are “destructive”; they will clear your previously existing Song Queue. The “add” option, however, will add the selected song to the end of your existing queue.

The first, “play these songs” option is described in the section above – it starts playing your album (or other browsed list), beginning with the current track.

Hint: Notice that “Play songs” is the first item in the menu. That makes it easy to play a list of songs, starting with a particular track. You can just “double-click” the Select button on the track you’d like to play first — the first click brings up the “Song” menu, and the second executes the “Play songs” command. You can think of this as double- clicking on a track listed in your music library.

If you choose “Play songs” on any track in your selection, the entire list is added to the Song Queue, but playback starts on the chosen track. If you have the Repeat option selected, the earlier tracks in the queue will play after the last song (and so on indefinitely). If you have the Shuffle option selected, then the chosen track will play first, followed by all the other tracks in the list in random order.
