Browsing by Artist, Song or Composer
From the
Home
menu, navigate to
Browse
and press the
Select
[v]
button. Navigate to
Browse Artists
and press the
Select
[v]
button. Your display will look something like
this:
?
Annie Lennox
|
?
<A>
Ben Folds Five
?
Find the artist you would like to play and press the
Select
[v]
button. You will see a
display listing the albums available by that artist:
?
<Show all matching songs>
|
Medusa
While the first menu option <
All matching songs
> is active, press
Add
[
+
] to add this
selection to your existing Song Queue, or press
Play
[v ]
to play all songs by this artist
instead and repla ce your existing Song Queue.
Songs play in the order they appear on each album. Each album plays in alphabetical
order.
Hint
: Artist names starting with the word “the,” such as the Beatles, will be found under
the first letter of the word following the word “the” — in this case, “B” for “Beatles.”
You can choose specific albums or songs to play by navigating to your desired album and
pressing
Add
[
+
] to add to an existing Song Queue, or Play to replace an existing Song
Queue.
Note
: if your selected album contains songs by different artists, such as compilation
albums or movie soundtracks, only the song(s) by your artist will be played.
Hint: To browse faster, instead of using the Up/Down arrows
, you can “speed
△ ▽
browse” through your lists by pressing the Left/Right arrows ? ? . This will browse by
the letters of the alphabet.
Note: T
he search function is a string search — “RA” will return not just Radiohead but
other words containing the string, such as Shakira and Franz Ferdinand.
Browsing by song or composer works the same way as browsing by artist.
