Reference Streamer/Music rendering engine

Absolute Stream 

Clicking on 

Submit 

takes you to the “

Playing now

” screen.

 This is the application’s main 

screen for playing music

It’s time to 

CREATE your MUSIC library

! Follow the following simple steps:

Click on 

Ideon Audio app

 main menu icon (“main menu”) on the top left of your screen. 

From the drop-down menu select: Create/Update library and then 

Update library

. The app 

will start indexing your library. Please wait until the indexing is complete.

Click on “close” and you are ready to go!

 

Now the playing screen will look like this:

The left half is the playing window (i.e. what is playing at any time) while the right side 

contains albums of your library. The first 100 will appear. The default sorting is Album Artist. 
You can, of course, opt for a different sorting using the icon to the right of the search field.

Top right shows your library metrics (tracks, time, etc)
The screen bottom has the 

app’s

 four basic 

functions

:

•  Playing now 

(i.e. what is playing, from 

which file, album, artist, etc)

• 

Queue 

(i.e. what you have selected to listen 

to – you can save this as a “playing list”)

•  Library 

(your music library portrayed as a 

data base or as a file system)

•  Search 

(self-explanatory; using keywords 

and any parameter) 

Create your music library and play music.
