WD TV Live Streaming Media Player User Manual QuickMix QuickMix is a feature that allows you to listen to more than one of your stations at once. QuickMix will play only one song based on particular musical characteristics at a time (unlike regular Pandora stations, which play four related songs in a row), so the mood changes more often. Providing Song Feedback You can influence the music selection that is streamed into your Pandora station by providing track feedback for the song currently playing. You can give a song a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down" vote. Thumbs up If you like the currently playing song, give it a thumbs up vote. This positive feedback means: „ The very next set of songs for this station will be generated using the song you've given a "thumbs up" vote to as a musical starting point. „ Future sets of songs are likely to have similar musical traits. Multiple "thumbs up" votes on this station for other similar songs will have a cumulative effect. „ This song will play somewhat more often than other songs on this station's potential playlist, and will play about as often as other songs that have received a "thumbs up" on this station. Thumbs down If you don't want to hear a song on a particular station, give it a thumbs down vote. This negative feedback means: „ The song will stop playing, if there are any of the remaining "six skips per hour" available on that particular station (this limit is per station, on a rolling per-hour basis). „ The song will be permanently removed from that particular station's playlist. „ A new set of songs with a different musical emphasis will begin to play. „ If you've given at least two "thumbs down" vote to a specific artist on that particular station, songs from that artist will no longer be included in that station's playlist. To provide song feedback: „ While a song is playing, press / to select or , then press OK. A prompt to confirm your vote appears. Putting a Song to Sleep When you want to stop listening to song, but not permanently remove it from a station's playlist, you put it to "sleep." This prevents the song from playing on any of your stations for 30 days. To put a song to sleep: „ While a song is playing, press / to select , then press OK. A prompt to confirm the "sleep" action appears. INTERNET SERVICES - 134

QuickMix
QuickMix is a feature that allows you to listen to more than one of your stations at
once. QuickMix will play only one song based on particular musical characteristics at
a time (unlike regular Pandora stations, which play four related songs in a row), so
the mood changes more often.
Providing Song Feedback
You can influence the music selection that is streamed into your Pandora station by
providing track feedback for the song currently playing. You can give a song a
“thumbs up” or a “thumbs down” vote.
Thumbs up
If you like the currently playing song, give it a thumbs up vote. This positive feedback
means:
The very next set of songs for this station will be generated using the song you’ve
given a “thumbs up” vote to as a musical starting point.
Future sets of songs are likely to have similar musical traits. Multiple “thumbs up"
votes on this station for other similar songs will have a cumulative effect.
This song will play somewhat more often than other songs on this station's
potential playlist, and will play about as often as other songs that have received a
"thumbs up" on this station.
Thumbs down
If you don't want to hear a song on a particular station, give it a thumbs down vote.
This negative feedback means:
The song will stop playing, if there are any of the remaining "six skips per hour"
available on that particular station (this limit is per station, on a rolling per-hour
basis).
The song will be permanently removed from that particular station's playlist.
A new set of songs with a different musical emphasis will begin to play.
If you’ve given at least two “thumbs down” vote to a specific artist on that
particular station, songs from that artist will no longer be included in that station’s
playlist.
To provide song feedback:
While a song is playing, press
/
to select
or
, then press
OK
.
A prompt to confirm your vote appears.
Putting a Song to Sleep
When you want to stop listening to song, but not permanently remove it from a
station’s playlist, you put it to “sleep.” This prevents the song from playing on any of
your stations for 30 days.
To put a song to sleep:
While a song is playing, press
/
to select
, then press
OK
.
A prompt to confirm the “sleep” action appears.
