EDITING THE AUDIO LIBRARY
Your MediaServer labels the albums, artists and tracks
in your
audio Library
with names which identify the
track you are listening to, and these help you locate
items when you are browsing through the
audio
Library
.
If you have an Internet connection, the unit looks up
the CD information automatically from the Gracenote
Music Recognition Service. You can edit these names to
suit your own preferences.
If your MediaServer is on the same network as your
home computer, you can use your web browser to
access the Remote User Interface (see page
24
) and
edit the details using that. This has the advantage
of allowing you to use your mouse and keyboard to
perform the editing.
Once any of these details has been changed, the album
will be ignored by the
Look up album Details
function,
so your changes will be retained permanently.
All editing operations are similar, so for an example,
we’ll discuss editing Album information.
