•Now Playing screen. The screen that displays the Now Playing playlist. This special playlist indicates the currently playing ﬁle and any ﬁles that are “queued up” to play next.

•Library screen. The screen that lets you quickly ﬁnd your audio ﬁles, video ﬁles, and playlists. It contains categories such as My Music, My Video, My TV, and My Playlists.
