USB attached drive. bRadio is an internet radio 

directory, and Applications allows access to Tidal 

online streaming service.

Within the scope of this brief introduction, we shall 

explore Media Player.

Media Player

Clicking or tapping Media Player from the 

Dashboard takes you to the Media Player where 

you will spend the most time enjoying your music. 

Note that our web application is fully responsive 

and re-orients itself depending on landscape or 

portrait orientation of your device. For brevity, 

illustrations below are for landscape orientation.

The Media Player can be understood by recognizing 

four distinct areas: Transport Control (the horizontal 

header), and the three vertical columns beneath it. 

Left to right, they are the Now Playing area which 

is your current queue, Current Track which shows 

album art, artist, song title, album name, and 

resolution for the currently playing song, and Add 

Files which provides hierarchical access to your 

music library.

Now Playing

To play music, add music from your library to the 

queue. You can browse your music sorted into 

folders just like it is organized on your drive, or by 

select metadata tags such as artist name or album 

name. 

You can add entire artist collections, single albums, 

single tracks or a combination thereof to the cue to 

form a playlist.  Simply click or tap the + icon beside 

any field, folder, or track name to add that item and 

all music contained beneath it to the queue. The 

illustration above shows 9 tracks from an album in 

the queue. 

Once tracks are placed into the Now Playing 

queue, they can be reordered or removed from 

the queue entirely. Click or tap-and-hold the track 

number then drag it into the desired position in the 

queue to reorder or onto the Now Playing area to 

remove. To clear the entire playlist, click or tap the 

Clear instruction beneath the track timeline in the 

Transport Control area. 

Stored Playlists

Store any Now Playing queue for future 

recall by clicking SAVE in the Now Playing 

area. Title the playlist and click Save. 

Recall saved 

playlists by 

clicking Playlists 

in the Add Files 

area. 

Alternate 

Views

Clicking   

brings up the 

Song View which 

displays a table 

of information for songs in the current queue.
