Edit Info:
This command is available for
tracks and albums only. A dialog box appears,
allowing you to edit the identifying informa-
tion, including renaming tracks. See Figure 18.
The box is slightly different when the Media
Library is sorted by tracks. A character-entry
dialog box appears when you select any field
for editing. See Figure 16 and the note on the
previous page. Select the Find Info command
to activate Gracenote MusicID.

• Delete: Select this command if you wish to
remove the content from the Media Library. Be
aware that the DMC 1000 does not play audio
CD content directly from the disc. If you load
the CD again, it will be recopied to the Media
Library.
Cover Art Sort
You may have noticed the cover art mosaic that
appears in the background of the Main Menu
when you turn on the DMC 1000. With the Main
Menu on screen, select the Cover Art sorting
option for the Media Library and the focus shifts
to this mosaic. Use the Navigation Buttons
to move the “magnifying glass” to the desired
album cover, identifying the artist and album.
Press the Enter Button to display the playback
options: Play, Add to Queue, Add to Playlist,
View Album, Edit Info and Delete Album. Select
View Album to switch to the regular Media
Library view with the album expanded to view
the tracks. The other playback commands func-
tion in the same way as in the Media Library
view.
NOTE:
When no cover art is available (e.g., if
the DMC 1000 was not connected to the
Internet when the CD was loaded, if the disc is
noncommercial or if there is a gap in the data-
base), the album will not appear in the Cover Art
sort, although you may select it when viewing
the Media Library by Tracks, Artists, Albums,
Playlists or Genres. A musical note icon, such as
the one shown in Figure 18, will appear in place
of the missing cover art.
Data Media
The DMC 1000 recognizes media containing
data files in the MP3, JPEG and WAV formats.
Load a data CD in the disc player, or insert a
memory card in the appropriate card slot, or
connect a USB drive to either USB Port, and the
device will be available for selection as a media
source in the Main Menu. See Figure 19.
Figure 19 – Source Selection
When a data source is selected, the only sorting
options are Audio and Photos. Select one, and
the regular Media Library will appear, except
that unlike audio CDs, which are organized as
albums containing individual tracks for each
song, data sources are organized as folders con-
taining individual files for each song or still
image. However, navigation of the content is
similar to audio. See Figure 20.
Figure 20 – Data CD
Press the Enter Button to expand a folder, or
select the Go Up command to collapse it. The
other commands function as usual, and the Add
to Library command allows you to import the
content to the Media Library for playback after
the media has been removed from the DMC
1000.
The Play Queue and Playlists
The DMC 1000 allows you to program playlists
that are saved for future playback, plus a play
queue of items for immediate play.
The Play Queue
The Play Queue is simply a list of all items that
are queued up to be played. There are two ways
to add an item to the play queue:
1. Display the desired content on screen by
selecting the correct source (the Media
Library, a card slot, a data CD or a USB
device) and selecting the audio or still-image
content. Scroll to the desired content, e.g., a
song track or file, use the
F
/
G
Navigation
Buttons to highlight the Play Now command,
and press the Enter Button. The existing Play
Queue will stop and add the selected item,
which will begin playing immediately. The pre-
vious Play Queue items will be deleted.
2. With the desired content on screen and the
item selected, use the
F
/
G
Navigation
Buttons to highlight the Add to Queue com-
mand. Press the Enter Button to add the item
to the end of the Play Queue.
