Song Queues
SoundBridge Radio automatically builds a Song Queue every time you select a song or
album to play. You can also have the Soundbridge Radio play a set of selections you
choose. This section will tell you how to build a song queue, review a song queue and
erase a song queue.
Building a Song Queue
Let’s say you would now like to choose several different songs or selections to play in a
row. This is called building a “Song Queue.” SoundBridge automatically builds a Song
Queue every time you select a song or album to play. You can add to that list by
navigating to your preferred music and pressing Add [+]. The selection will be added to
the end of the current Song Queue.
You may add a single song, an entire album, all songs by an artist, all songs in a genre, or
any search result — just browse to the selection you prefer and press Add. For example,
if you would like to play all songs by Coldplay, select the “Browse artists
”
option from
the Home Menu/Browse option. Navigate to Coldplay in your artist list, and press Add.
All songs on all albums by Coldplay will be played by album, in the order they appear on
each album. For more information about browsing and searching options, see the
“Browsing” and “Searching” sections later in this user guide.
You have several other options for building a Song Queue. After you press Select while
browsing on a song, a “Song” menu appears with the following options:
•
Play, starting with the selected song (and clear previous Song Queue)
•
Get information about the selected song
•
Play the selected song only (and clear previous Song Queue)
•
Add this song to the Song Queue (same as pressing the Add button)
Note that both “play” options 1 and 3 above are “destructive”; they will clear your
previously existing Song Queue. The “add” option, however, will add the selected song
to the end of your existing queue.
The first, “play these songs” option is d escribed in the section above — it starts playing
your album (or other browsed list), beginning with the current track.
If you choose “Play songs” on any track in your selection, the entire list is added to the
Song Queue, but playback starts on the chosen track. If you have the Repeat [] option
selected, the earlier tracks in the queue will play after the last song (and so on
indefinitely). If you have the Shuffle [] option selected, then the chosen track will play
first, followed by all the other tracks in the list in random order.
The “Add song to Song Queue” option behaves similarly to the Add button— it places
the current song at the end of your playlist.
You can add an almost unlimited number of songs to your Song Queue. Each selection
will be played in the order it was entered (unless you have chosen to Shuffle your Song
Queue).
