SECTiON 4: ADDiTiONAL PLAYBACK OPTiONS
Playing a Playlist
To play a playlist that you have created in your music jukebox software such as iTunes or
Windows Media Player, select the Playlist option from the Home Menu [
]. Use your Up/
Down △ ▽ arrows to browse your playlists one by one, find the one you want to play, then
press Play [�] to play all songs on the playlist immediately or Add [+] to add the playlist to
your Song Queue. Playlists can include audio tracks, Internet radio streams, even iTunes’
Smart Playlists. If your playlist was created in Windows Media Player or other software using
Windows Media Connect, be sure to save your playlist in the My Music/. My Playlist folder on
your hard drive, or configure Windows Media Connect to share the directory on your hard drive
containing the playlist.
Repeat and Shuffle
Pressing Repeat [ ] once makes your Song Queue play continuously. You will see the Repeat
icon q displayed on the right side of your “Now Playing” screen below the Play � icon. Pressing
Repeat again makes the current song play over and over; you will see another Repeat icon,
a circle with just one arrow
. Press Repeat a third time and you will remove the repeat
command altogether.
Pressing Shuffle [ ] while playing a Song Queue will give you the following options:
Shuffle On — will play everything in your Song Queue in random order. (The shuffled order
of songs will be displayed in the Song Queue.) An icon with two crossing arrows
will be
displayed on your Now Playing screen.
Shuffle Off — will play everything in your Song Queue in the original order.
You can execute the Repeat and Shuffle command from any menu in SoundBridge. Even
though you can only see the mode change on the Now Playing screen, the command is
taking effect.
Search Options
To search for a specific selection by spelling it out, you can press the Search [�] button on your
remote control, or navigate down to the “Search” option from the Home Menu.
(Note: Unfortunately, Rhapsody and MusicMatch don’t support searching on SoundBridge at
this time. If searching is not available, the Search menu item will not appear, and pressing the
Search key on the remote will display a message.)
Whether you use the Search menu or the remote button, you will see the following options:
Search for Titles
Search for Albums
Search for Artists
Search for Composers
Search Keywords
Press Select on the option you would like to search with. Then, use your Left/Right ◁ ▷ arrows
on the remote control to enter characters for spelling your selection and then pressing Select.
When you are done spelling, use the Down ▽ button to go to the OK option and press Select. (If
you make a mistake, use the Down ▽ button to go to the Delete option and press Select.)
Hint: Partial spelling is OK — the Search function searches for letters anywhere in the
word, as opposed to just at the beginning. For example, to search for Radiohead, you
can enter any combination of letters found in the word (“RA,” “DI,” “HE,” etc.), and the
results will return all Artists containing those letters (e.g., if you enter “DI” you may get
Radiohead, India Arie, and Diana Krall).
When you find the music you like, use the Add [+] button to add it to your Song Queue. If
searching for albums or artists, you can press Select to navigate down to individual tracks.
