Playing music
4.1.1 Selecting a song
There are two ways to access your music. You can either access
your songs by browsing through the folders, where you keep
your music fi les, or you can choose from Artist, Album, Genre,
or Song.
Browsing through the folders
Click the OK/PLAY button on the highlighted “Browse hard
drive”. You will be sent directly to the Music folder of your Gmini.
This is a fi ltered access to browse the hard disk. Here you can
look at all your music fi les and the folders on your Gmini’s hard
drive as if you were browsing fi les with a computer. You will only
see audio fi les types that are playable on the Gmini (MP3, WMA,
WAV). To select a fi le you can use the UP and DOWN keys to
move upwards or downwards and OK to enter a highlighted
subfolder. See chapter 4.3 for more information about using the
Browser.
Using the ARCLibrary System
You can search your music by artist, album, song name, genre.
Use the UP/DOWN buttons to scroll to your selection and then
click on OK. Once one of these is chosen, you will see an
alphabetical list. You can now choose the Album, Artist, or song
Title (depending which search type you started) that you desire. If
you add music to your Gmini, you will need to use MusicMatch™
to update the ARCLibrary in order for it to take into account the
newly acquired music. See section 6.4.1 for details.
4.1.2 Playing a song
When you get to your desired song, click on PLAY/OK. If you hear nothing at fi rst, make
sure you have adjusted the volume control on the headphone cord.
