6. Search
The Search path for the user makes no distinction
between search at Album or Track level other than when
searching for an ALBUM title.
The distinction is at the point of returning the results to
the user. The rationale is that the end user will not be
constrained by the physical CD boundaries of the
original disc, which are purely an artifice introduced by
the Record Company. The Naim user is therefore free of
the constraints of the physical CD when searching.
The user searches allow both BROWSing and
SEARCHing.
Browsing allows survey and selection from lists, in the
manner of browsing a selection of CDs on a shelf,
however they may be organised. Additionally there is the
capability to Browse the metadata associated with
Playlists.
At any stage of the Browse process the Album or Track
selected can be simply added to a new playlist with a
single click. All Browsing and Searching leads to track
information: at that stage the corresponding full album
information is available including Cover Art.
At any stage the View can be toggled from being list
based to having a highly visible image of the highlighted
album Cover Art as well as a scrollable list.
