Audio Player Since you will probably want to use the audio player primarily to play songs, the audio player treats the MP3 audio files on the memory card as songs when grouping and organizing them. The audio player uses meta-data found in most MP3 audio files to group the files on the memory card by album, artist, and genre. You can also create your own groupings of audio files, called playlists. When you access the audio player, you see that the audio files are grouped into these folders: • Songs - All MP3 audio files on the memory card inserted in your phone, listed alphabetically by title. • Playlists - Folders and lists you have created. If you have not created any playlists, this folder contains only the Favorite playlist, which is empty. • Albums - Songs grouped by album. The albums are listed alphabetically by title. The songs on the albums are listed in the order that they normally appear on the album. • Artists - Songs grouped by artist. The artists are listed alphabetically by name. Within each artist's folder, the songs are listed alphabetically by title. • Genres - Songs grouped by genre. The genres are listed alphabetically by name. Within each genre folder, the songs are listed alphabetically by title. In the Albums, Artists, and Genres folders, any MP3 audio files that do not contain enough metadata to be grouped by album, artist, or genre are paced in a folder labelled "Unknown". Searching By First Letter Any time you are viewing an alphabetical list of audio files or folders, you can go to the items starting with any letter by using your phone's keypad to enter that letter. Playing a List and Using Repeat and Shuffle When you select an audio file to play, the audio player plays this audio file and then plays the other audio files grouped with it. The repeat and shuffle features help determine which of these songs are played. 132

Audio Player
Since you will probably want to use the audio
player primarily to play songs, the audio player
treats the MP3 audio files on the memory card as
songs when grouping and organizing them.
The audio player uses meta-data found in most
MP3 audio files to group the files on the memory
card by album, artist, and genre. You can also
create your own groupings of audio files, called
playlists.
When you access the audio player, you see that
the audio files are grouped into these folders:
Songs
— All MP3 audio files on the memory
card inserted in your phone, listed alphabetically
by title.
Playlists
— Folders and lists you have created.
If you have not created any playlists, this folder
contains only the Favorite playlist, which is
empty.
Albums
— Songs grouped by album. The
albums are listed alphabetically by title. The
songs on the albums are listed in the order that
they normally appear on the album.
Artists
— Songs grouped by artist. The artists
are listed alphabetically by name. Within each
artist’s folder, the songs are listed alphabetically
by title.
Genres
— Songs grouped by genre. The genres
are listed alphabetically by name. Within each
genre folder, the songs are listed alphabetically
by title.
In the Albums, Artists, and Genres folders, any
MP3 audio files that do not contain enough
metadata to be grouped by album, artist, or genre
are paced in a folder labelled “Unknown”.
Searching By First Letter
Any time you are viewing an alphabetical list of
audio files or folders, you can go to the items
starting with any letter by using your phone’s
keypad to enter that letter.
Playing a List and Using
Repeat and Shuffle
When you select an audio file to play, the audio
player plays this audio file and then plays the other
audio files grouped with it. The repeat and shuffle
features help determine which of these songs are
played.
