Using the Search Functions
Aside from the main filters, you can use
various other methods to search for
exactly the music you wish to listen to.
Rather than scroll down endless lists of
albums or tracks it is wise to use one of
the following methods to really pinpoint
the specific track you wish to play.
Coloured Function Buttons
On the handset there are four coloured
function buttons that will jump the user
interface directly to the top-level GENRE,
ARTIST, ALBUM or TRACKS menu.
At any point in the user interface:
Press RED to jump straight to All Genres
Press GREEN to jump straight to All
Artists
Press YELLOW to jump straight to All
Albums
Press BLUE to jump straight to All
Tracks.
Alpha-numeric Buttons
At any point while navigating the MUSIC
LIBRARY you can press one of the alpha-
numeric buttons on the handset and it
will filter the current playlist, so that only
entries beginning with that number or
letter are listed. For instance, if you are
looking at ALL ALBUMS the list may
potentially contain hundreds of different
entries — far too many to scroll through.
If the album you wish to listen to starts
with ‘S’ simply press button ‘7’ on the
handset four times and the list will
immediately shorten to contain just those
albums beginning with ‘S’. You can do this
for any list in the MUSIC LIBRARY.
Search Option
The most powerful way of finding the
program material you want is by using
the SEARCH function. On any GENRES,
ALBUM or ARTIST (but not TRACKS) page
you will see an option labelled SEARCH.
Highlight this option and press OK. You
are taken to the SEARCH page. On this
page is a single editable data field where
•
•
•
•
you input your search term in the usual
way. By highlighting the field and pressing
OK to activate it, type in the search term
using the keyboard or alphanumeric keys
on the handset. The search term can be
as specific or brief as you wish. It is rarely
necessary to type the complete title, just
the first few letters will do. Once you are
happy with the search term, tell the Server
whether it is a GENRE, ARTIST, ALBUM
or TRACK title that it should find by
highlighting the appropriate menu option
and pressing OK.
6.2 Playing tracks from
Playlists
The Server can only play music from
a playlist. When you select an ALBUM
or GENRE, for instance, you are merely
shortening a playlist that includes all
the tracks on the Server. However you
can purposely save favourite tracks in
a personal playlist so that they can be
instantly recalled each time you wish to
play them rather than selected from the
entire database each time.
Create a Playlist
As an example we will add all the tracks
beginning with ‘S’ to a playlist called
‘Esses’.
First select the tracks you wish to add to
the playlist.
From the main MUSIC LIBRARY menu
select TRACKS so that a list of all the
tracks on the Server is produced. Then
press the ‘7’ button four times to filter the
list to include just those tracks beginning
with ‘S’. All the tracks are automatically
selected but you can change this by
highlighting tracks that are not required
and pressing OK.
Next navigate to ADD TO PLAYLIST and
press OK. On the next screen select ADD
PLAYLIST and in the editable data field,
type the name for the playlist, ‘Esses’.
Press OK and the playlist is created.
To add more tracks to the playlist simply
select some tracks and then select ADD
TO PLAYLIST. On the next screen highlight
the playlist you want to add the tracks to
and press OK.
