INDIO will display ‘File Scan…’ as it scans through the media files in the shared folder. Text on the
bottom row of the display will change to indicate that the file scan is in progress. If you have a
large number of audio files this could take several minutes to complete.

Once INDIO has finished scanning, it will display ‘By Album’. You can now browse through the
scanned media files, which will now be organized ‘By Album’, ‘By Artist’ and ‘Playlists’ – if
available.
Note that the first time the file scan is done a file called ‘.reciva_media_cache’ is written to the folder
where the audio files are stored. This is in order to speed up subsequent file scans.
