Music player mode
(network and USB)
Music Player
mode plays a variety of audio file
formats such as MP3, AAC (Apple), WMA (Microsoft)
as well as the completely lossless formats WAV &
FLAC. These can be ‘streamed’ from a computer on
the local network, or from a USB Flash stick or a hard
drive on the network, known as a NAS drive (Network
attached storage).
To enter Music Player mode, either press
Mode
until
the display shows
Music player
, or select
Menu >
Main menu > Music player
.
Once in Music Player mode, press
Menu
, then
select either
Shared media
or
USB playback
.
If you are already playing a music file, you can press
Back
rather than
Menu
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 section 5.1 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
on the remote or on the
WLD+201 itself to move through tracks. Press and hold
to rewind or fast forward and press quickly to select
previous or next track.

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
WLD+201 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 25.)
From Music, there are numerous ways of selecting
tracks, including:
•
Genre
•
All Artists
•
Contributing Artists
•
Album Artists
•
Composers
•
Album
•
Rating
Once you have found a track you want to play, press
Select
. A short press plays the track immediately and
a long press adds the track to the playlist. You can
also add entire albums to the playlist. The WLD+201
plays either the selected track or the playlist.
