Operation Manual
Albrecht DR440i
18 English
If you have a MusicServer running in your network, you'll be
shown the main menu listing all available sources, including your
server, when you press the
button. Following the default
settings of the server software, the computer name or network ID
of the computer on which the server is running will be displayed in
parenthesis for the latter.
Navigate to the right and you will be shown this overview of avail-
able tracks.
The entries are generated by MusicServer based on the title in-
formation of the MP3 and WMA files.
The so-called ID3 tags of files in well-organized collections contain information about the artist,
album, title, genre, year released and so on. The display may look completely different when using
a different UPnP server application, as this data is only received by the DR440i, not generated by
it.
If you use the TwonkyVision MusicServer, the following selections will be available:
Albums
Contains a list of all available albums in the library.
All Tracks
Here you can find a list of all of the tracks available on the server. Shuf-
fling really comes into its own here.
Genre
Blues, Pop, Funk and Soul are possible genre entries. Select a genre to
display a list of all tracks of the genre.
Genre Index
The genres are sorted alphabetically here: ABC, EFG etc.—for B as in
Blues...
Genre/Artist
Once you have selected a genre, choose an artist to narrow the selec-
tion down further.
Artist
Select your music by artist.
Artist Index
Artists are presorted here in name groups: ABC, EFG and so on.
Artist Albums
The album selection will be shown after you choose an artist.
Year/Artist
Select the year first, then the artist—who would have thought that you
have tracks THAT old in your collection?!
Folder
Use this option to navigate directly in the file system. In other words,
folder and file names will be displayed instead of title information (ID tag
entries).
Tip: if you are not happy with the other display options, you can naturally
create and use your own system by intelligently renaming the folders and
files!
Playlists
Here you have access to stored playlists. In other words, all found *.m3u
files or other files containing playlists will be available here.
The “Last Played” entry selects the last playlist used, while “Most
Played” selects the list most played since the server was set up.
For further navigation, use the usual buttons on the remote control. Once you've reached the item
you were looking for, just press Play, and after a brief moment to fill the DR440i cache, off you go.
Press and hold the navigation buttons when scrolling through long lists to enlarge the navigation
increments. We would also like to once again point out the search function, too!
