Finding music with the search function
The fastest way to find music in your database is to use the search function. The Search box
is located at the upper right corner of the music finder window.
Select the view you want to use for your search. In the Search box, type the name of the art-
ist, composer, album, or track. As you type, the music finder will display only the entries with
matching text. The matching text is displayed in red.
Note:
Pressing

starts play at the top of the list.
Clicking the

button clears the Search box and any other search criteria in the music
finder. This causes the music finder window to display all the music in the selected view.
Selecting items in the music finder window
You can make single or multiple selections in the music finder window. You can select a single
item by clicking on it once. While holding down the shift key you can select a continuous
