Adding a Bookmark to a Song

Starting from one of the four categories in the Music Archive menu, you can continue sifting and ﬁnally reach a song-level list view. Press the BOOKMARK button on the remote control, or select Bookmark from the Tool menu. A sky-blue arrow appears at the left of a song name that’s currently selected. It’s the bookmark.

You can use the bookmark to mark songs for your speciﬁc purpose, such as ‘Theme Songs for My Life’ or ‘Songs for the Next Party’ or anything you want. To remove the bookmark, once again move the selection (highlight) to the song and press the BOOKMARK button on the remote control or select Bookmark from the Submenu.

You can see a list of bookmarked songs by selecting Bookmarks from the Music Archive menu.

From this list, you can selectively play bookmarked songs. The Submenu commands let you view detailed information for the current song, open its source album, organize the current bookmark list by removing the bookmark from the current song (the current song will disappear from the list), and even save the current list as a new playlist (by naming it as ‘Theme Songs for My Life’ if you like). In addition, you can arrange the song order by editing the stored playlist.

nBecause you can also add or remove the bookmark using the relevant Submenu command in the Play Information screen, you can decide to add or remove it while listening to each archived song.
