playing music

This chapter explains how to play music that you have recorded onto your DMS4 Digital Music Server. It also explains how to locate the music you wish to play in a number of different ways.

The Audio Library

The television user interface has been designed to allow easy navigation through the Audio Library and therefore give quick and easy access to your complete music collection in a number of different ways. Each screen in the Audio Library is carefully constructed to provide the most important information about the items you are viewing.

The illustration below shows how the Audio Library screens are structured and describes each part of the screen, the information displayed and the functions available. The example shows the Tracks screen for the album Cold Water Songs, however all navigation screens in the Audio Library are similar in construction.
