Alphabetical index search Buttons Unlike the PAGE scroll buttons, the Alphabetical index search buttons only work with lists that sort items in alphabetical order. If you select All Songs for the search category, you will always have an alphabetical list of all archived songs, and this list may be long enough-spanning across multiple screens, depending on how many songs you have. Move the selection (highlight) to your target item, and then select Information from the Submenu. A dialog box appears, showing detailed information of the current item. If it is an album, you can see information including how many song the album contains, who performed the album songs, which genre the album has been categorized into, and when the album has been archived. If the current item is a song, in addition to the album information, you will see the audio format (data format for archiving the song) and how many times it was played. n The alphabetical order of the MCX-2000 list view sorts items according to the following order: ASCII-based English first, followed by other Latin languages and Japanese Kana-Kanji characters. In the above screen, you know there are a total of196 songs and you must scroll down the list no fewer than 19 times to see all song titles, even if you use the PAGE scroll buttons. If you know a target song's title, however, you can conveniently use two Alphabetical index search buttons to quickly find the song. Use the down arrow button to jump in an A-to-Z direction, or use the up arrow button to jump in a Z-to-A direction, to the first song in each alphabetical index. By confirming such detailed information, you can identify each list item even though it has a duplicate name with others. You don't always need to play it just for identification. You may also encounter a duplicate name if the MCX-2000 couldn't get song data while importing a music CD into the music archive. In this case, the MCX-2000 has given a generic name "Unknown" to the album title, as well as "Track" to each song in the album. As a result, you may have a number of "Unknown" albums and "Track" songs in your music archive. To solve this problem, move the selection (highlight) to a list item with a generic name, and then select CDDB Info from the Submenu. If the CDDB database has been updated since you archived the album, the MCX-2000 will be able to retrieve appropriate song data and update titles of the relevant album and songs. n For quicker access of CDDB data, the MCX-2000 is designed to keep song data for last 100 music CDs (maximum) retrieved from the online CDDB database. However, you can ignore existing data by retrieving the latest data using the CDDB Info command available from the Submenu in several Music Archive screens. Identifying an List Item If there are two or more songs (or albums) that have a duplicate name in your music archive, they might be confusing in a list view of All Songs (or Albums). You must play them just for identification? No. Simply use the Information command from the Submenu in each list view screen. n Don't worry if you still see generic names after executing the CDDB Info command. The rest of the Submenu commands let you manually edit the title or name of a list item currently selected. But, be careful when using these commands. They can break links in the song data-relationship among song title, album title, artist name and categorized genre-or even delete song audio data itself. See "Editing the Library" (page 75) on how to use these Submenu commands. MCX-2000 Owner's Manual 49
