The  MusicStream  player  has  the  ability  to 

download  playlists  and  make  them  available 

offline, as well as reducing bandwith. This func-

tion is available from the ‘Channels’ menu. It is 

recommended that you download the playlists 

you use frequently in your premesis. 

1.

 

  Go to the ‘Channels’ menu. There will be a list 

of sector channels as well as  a ‘by genre’ option. 

Within the channels are a series of playlists we 

have programmed for each sector and genre.

   Choose a channel and playlist you wish to 

view  by  tapping  on  them.  You  can  navigate 

to the list of playlists of channels by using the 

back arrow in the top left corner.

 The tracks within this playlist are now visible. To play use the transport controls on the right hand side. To down-

load press the blue ‘download’ button in the top right corner.

The offline status of the playlist is shown on the right hand side in number of tracks and percentage downloaded. 

Each individual track has a ‘musical note’ icon next to it: if this has a tick the track is available offline, if it has a dotted 

blue line the track is streaming only. You can view the progress of your downloads in the ‘More’ menu under ‘Down-
