SEARCH OPTIONS (
CONTINUED
)
Search by Genres
When Search by Genres is chosen, you will be presented with a list of
all of the genres found in the database. Because not every MP3 has ID3
genre tagging, some tracks may not be displayed in this search. Once
you select a genre from the list, you will be able to browse all songs
within that genre.
Search by Album
Using the Search by Album option will allow you to search by the name
of the album that a track is from. Keep in mind that this option also may
not allow you to access all tracks, because sometimes singles are sold
separately and are not taken from any specific album. Once you select
an album, all of the tracks found under that album will be displayed.
Search by String
One of the most convenient features of the Dmix-300 is string search,
which allows you to find a specified word or string of words within the
database. This is exceptionally helpful when you (or your client) has a
request, but does not know the exact title or artist.
Once you have selected ‘Search by String,’ you will be presented with a
prompt where you may input a word or series of words that will be used
when querying the database.
Using the
Jog Wheel
or
Up/Down arrows
(on the
Navigator Keypad
),
enter the first letter of the Search String. Use the
Right arrow
or the
Enter Key
to advance to the next space, and enter the next letter. You
may press the Left arrow to go back to the previous letter, or press
Shift+Left
to backspace (deletes the previous letter).
Finally, when the Search String is entered, you will need to press the
Enter
key twice, and the unit will execute the search.
You can also use any
USB
compatible keyboard to type in your search
