Browsing by Artist, Song or Composer
From the Main Menu, use the Down 6 arrow to highlight BROWSE and then press Select. Navigate
to BROWSE ARTISTS and press Select. Your screen will look something like this:
Ë ANNIE LENNOX ^ <A>
BEN FOLDS FIVE v
Find the artist you would like to play and press Select. You will see a screen that lists the
albums available by that artist:
Ë <SHOW ALL MATCHING SONGS>
MEDUSA
While the first menu option <ALL MATCHING SONGS> is active, press Add to add this selection
to your existing Song Queue, or press Select twice to play all songs by this artist instead and
replace your existing Song Queue. (Songs will play in the order they appear on each album,
with each album played in alphabetical order).
You can choose specific albums or songs to play by navigating down to your desired album and
pressing Add to add to an existing Song Queue, or Select twice to replace an existing Song
Queue. Note: if your selected album contains songs by different artists, such as compilation
albums or movie soundtracks, only the song(s) by your artist will be played.
Hint : To browse faster, instead of browsing up and down one at a time using Up/Down
arrows 56, you can “speed browse” through your lists by pressing the left/right arrows
34
. This will skip by the letter of the alphabet.
Browsing by song or composer works the same way as browsing by artist — see instructions
above.
Browsing by Genre
From the Main Menu, navigate down to the BROWSE option and press Select. Scroll down
to BROWSE GENRES and press Select. You will see an alphabetical listing of genres that are
available in the music library that you are browsing. To add all songs within a Genre to your
Song Queue, highlight that Genre and press Add (or Select to open additional options for
playback).
To browse within a genre, such as Hip Hop/Rap, press Select on your desired genre. You will
have the option to see all available artists in that genre, and a list of individual albums by those
artists. At any point, you can press Add to add that selection to your Song Queue or press
Select to navigate to the next level of detail.
Hint : Information about your music, including Song Name, Artist, Album, and Genre is
usually created automatically by the software you used to save your audio CD files on
your computer’s hard drive (aka ripping). This process creates data called “ID3 tags” to
describe each track. If this data is missing from your audio files, they will not appear
when you browse by that data category. If you need to edit your ID3 tags, or if you are
not satisfied with the description of genres (or other data) assigned to your music file, it
is possible to edit that data in iTunes, Windows Media Player or other supported music
jukebox programs. (In iTunes, select the file(s) to edit, click on File/Get info, then click on
the Info tab).
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 Main Menu. Either way, you
will have the following options:
SEARCH FOR ALBUMS
SEARCH FOR ARTISTS
SEARCH FOR TITLES
SEARCH KEYWORDS
Press Select on the option you would like to search with. Then, use your Left/Right 34arrows
on the remote control to enter characters for spelling your selection and then pressing Select.
When you are done spelling, use the Down 6 button to the OK option and press Select. (If you
make a mistake, use the Down 6 button to go to the Delete option and press Select.)
