You can visit the XiVA Music Store from this screen.
Browsing the Audio Library
You can browse your Audio Library by Album, Artist,
Genre, Playlist, Year or Era. For most of these, the
procedure is sufficiently similar that only one description
is necessary. We will describe browsing by Genre as a
typical example, and will highlight any differences as we
come to them. Browsing by Playlist will be dealt with
seperately.

•
U

option
in the

Press

Select
to play all the albums in this genre.
Alternatively, you can display all the artists, albums or
tracks that make up this genre, or add the genre to a
playlist.
Note that if you have drilled down to track level, for
example, and you play or add, you will only play or add
the chosen track, not any bigger grouping like album or
artist.
If you have a large collection, you can scroll rapidly
•
through the list by holding down the
U
or
V
keys.
If you continue to hold down that key, the display
•
will switch to a simple alphabet, allowing you to
select the first letter of the item you want. The
display will then be restricted to just those items
that start with that letter.

Playlists allow you to create your own selections of tracks
