Note: Selecting a folder for the creation of a temporary playlist works slightly differently
than the folder navigation described in the above sections. Immediately after hearing the
message “Create temporary playlist” you will hear the name of the first folder at the top
level in your music book. Use keys
4
and
6
to cycle through all the folders at that top
level. Once you have reached the top level folder of interest, you can use key
8
to go
down a level and then, with keys
4
and
6
, you will cycle through the folders at the second
level inside that top folder. You can go to lower levels in the same fashion. In order to go
to a different folder at a higher level, you will have to first use key
2
to go up to that level
before using again keys
4
and
6
to navigate to it.
Navigate within the playlist using keys
2
/
8
and
4
/
6
,
Go To Folder
, and
Go To File
keys.
Press key
0
to find the total number of folders and files and length of your playlist.
Press key
9
to randomize the playlist and press key
9
again to turn off random play.
The playlist is cleared as soon as you press key
1
to return to the bookshelf but it
remains between sessions if you power off without pressing key
1
.
For example, let’s say you have organized your $VRMusic files into 3 levels of folders. You could
have the music genre at level 1, artists at level 2 and albums at level 3. You can now easily play
only music of a particular genre, or all the albums of a particular artist, or listen to a single album.
Suppose your level 1 genre folders included Classical, Country, Folk, and Rock. Now, suppose,
within Classical, you have level 2 folders for the artists, Beethoven, Mozart, and Strauss. You
decide you want to play all your Mozart music. Go to the Music bookshelf. Press the
Go To
Key
until you he
ar, “Create Temporary Playlist”. Press key
6
until you hear, “Classical”. Now press key
8
to move down to your level 2 folders and press key
6
to reach the Mozart folder. Press the
Play
key. All your Mozart albums will now be used to create your temporary playlist and it will begin
playing. If you press key
9
, the tracks found in those albums will play in random order. Pressing
Key
0
will announce the total number of Mozart albums, total files, and their total play time.
7.3.6
Folder and File Name Announcement
When browsing the Music bookshelf, you may or may not want to hear file and folder name
announcements. The Stream will provide this information if the player is in Stop mode but will
omit the announcements if the player is in Play mode. In either case, it will repeat the
announcements if you press the key
5
(
Where Am I
). Thus, if you wish to use key
4
or
6
to
navigate back and forth between music files and do not want to hear the folder/file
announcements simply press the
Play
key first to put the player in play mode.

Podcasts Bookshelf
The Podcasts bookshelf contains a folder structure of audio files where each folder represents a
podcast feed and each file an episode of that feed. Each file (episode) is defined as a separate
podcast book.
7.4.1
Podcast Structure
The following list provides an example of how podcast files may be grouped in folders. There can
be up to 8 levels of folders.
Folder: $VRPodcasts
May contain files: Yes
Rules: Any files found in the $VRPodcasts root will be announced as individual books.
Folder: \$VRPodcasts\FeedA.
May contain audio files: Yes.
Rules: This is the folder for grouping the podcast episode files under their feed name.
