3. Playing MP3 music

 

 
There are a couple of mp3 sample songs and a Playlist that were installed into your Jukebox in the 
factory.  Use the UP and DOWN arrows to locate a folder or song.  Pressing PLAY at a folder will bring 
you into that folder.  Press LEFT to go back out of the folder up one level.  Pressing PLAY at a Playlist, 
will start playing the songs in the Playlist.  Pressing Play at a song will play that song.  If you hear 
nothing at first, make sure you have adjusted the volume control on the headphone cord.

 

 

 

Typical root directory screen. 
Notice the OO on the top left.  
This indicates you are at the top 
level.  If you go into a folder, the 
level will indicate 01.

 

 

 

In Browser mode, you will see 
items with different icons such as 
a folder: Tchaikovsky 
a play list: Jazz Playlist 
a song: Steve Pride 
a video: (not shown above)

 

 

While the song plays, you will see 
the ID3 tag information
