Browsing by Artist, Song or Composer
From the Home Menu, use the Down arrow to highlight “Browse” and then press Select [4].
Navigate to “Browse Artists” and press Select. Your screen will look something like this:
Ë Annie Lennox <A>
Ben Folds Five
Find the artist you would like to play and press Select. You will see a screen that lists the
albums available by that artist:
Ë <Show all matching songs>
Medusa
While the first menu option <All matching songs> is active, press Add [+] to add this selection
to your existing Song Queue, or press Play [] to play all songs by this artist instead and replace
your existing Song Queue. (Songs will play in the order they appear on each album, with each
album played in alphabetical order).
Hint: Artist names starting with “the,” such as the Beatles, will be found under the first
letter of the word following “the” — in this case, “B” for “Beatles.”
You can choose specific albums or songs to play by navigating down to your desired album and
pressing Add to add to an existing Song Queue, or Play to replace an existing Song Queue.
Note: if your selected album contains songs by different artists, such as compilation albums or
movie soundtracks, only the song(s) by your artist will be played.
Hint: To browse faster, instead of browsing up and down one at a time using Up/Down
arrows , you can “speed browse” through your lists by pressing the Left/Right arrows
. This will skip by the letter of the alphabet. Note that the search function is a string
search — “RA” will return not just Radiohead but also other words containing the string,
such as Shakira and Franz Ferdinand.
Browsing by song or composer works the same way as browsing by artist — see instructions
above.
