4.2 The ARCLibrary™ - Browsing by Artist, Album, or Title
The ARCLibrary is a database of all the songs
in the Music folder. Many music files contain
information to describe the music file, called
tags. Through these tags, the ARCLibrary let
you choose your music to play by artist,
album, song title, genre, or year. Depending
on the source of the file; not all these tags are
available. Files of the type .wav do not have
any tags because the format does not allow it.
After copying music files to the Music folder on your PMA430, disconnect it from your computer.
you will now have to go the music browser (just start the Music application) and select the menu
bar item Update ARCLibrary. The PMA430 will then check to see if there are new songs in the
music folder and add them to the database of known songs. You will now see your newly copied
music under the different characteristics. If your music files do not have the description tags then
they will be classified under unknown. The file name will be used in place of the title if there is
no song title tag.
