MUSIC PLAYER MODE (network and USB)
Music player mode plays audio files such as MP3s,
AACs, WMAs or FLACs from a computer on the local
network or from a USB Flash stick/hard drive.
To enter Music player mode, touch the My Music icon
on the main menu and the display shows the
Select Music Source screen.
Once in the Select Music Source screen, touch either
Shared Media, USB Playback or My Playlist.
If you are already playing a music file, you can
press the Directory icon rather than the
menu icon to quickly return to the last visited
branch of the menu tree. For example,
suppose you were listening to the track Heat
by the artist 50 Cent through browsing
shared media as described in the section
below. Pressing back would return you to the
track listing for the album Get Rich or Die
Tryin’. Pressing back again would list all 50
Cent albums. Pressing back again would list
all album artists, and so on.
You can use
and
to move through tracks. Press and hold to rewind or fast
forward and press quickly to select previous or next track.
SHARED MEDIA (FROM UPnP MEDIA SERVER)
Select My Music > Shared media >
If you have set up shared media (as described on
page 14), you should see an entry consisting of
<computer name>: <Shared media name>, for
example JB-Laptop: Audio. If you have more than
one computer sharing media, the alternatives are
listed. Select the shared media you want to play.
From this point on, the menus are generated from
the shared media server (typically Windows Media
Player). The first menu shows a list of media types,
for example Music, Video, Pictures and Playlists. The
MD 801 can only play music and playlists.
There is also a search function, which finds tracks in a similar way to Internet radio
search, as described on page 12.
