Indicators
The RF Link indicator appears when the wireless connection between the TerraPlayer
Radio and Base Transceiver is offline. The Headphone indicator appears only when
headphones are plugged in (TR-100 only). The Mute indicator appears only when the
MUTE button on the remote has been pressed.
Icons and Music
The TerraTouch OS uses album cover art as icons representing the albums and songs in
your collection. But, everything else is also represented by icons: Genres, Artists, Radio
stations, Playlists, and Years – and each one of these can be selected and played.
There are default icons:
Artist Album Genre Radio Playlist Year
Custom Icons
The TerraTouch OS can also display icons of your own creation. Simply use a graphics
program to create an icon, then use the TerraPlayer Utility Suite’s Librarian program in
order to attach that icon to the artist, genre, playlist, etc. that you want.
) Refer to Create a custom icon on page 73 for more information.
Touch and Hold, Drag and Drop
You are probably already familiar with the term “drag and drop”—“touch and hold” is
similar. In the TerraTouch OS, you can select an album by touching and holding the
album icon. After a moment a duplicate of the icon appears under your finger, which you
can then drag and drop to various places on the touchscreen. So with the TerraPlayer,
you always touch and hold before dragging and dropping.
The example below shows how you can play a song. First you would find the song in
either LIBRARY or Favorites Mode. Touch and hold the icon, then drag and drop it on
the PLAY button.
Tap and Double-Tap
Tap and double-tap are the touchscreen equivalent of using a mouse on a PC. These
concepts are used throughout the TerraTouch OS.
Tap. To select something or use a button, tap on it once with your finger. This is
just like point-and-click with a mouse.
Double-tap. To select and open something, double-tap on it: tap twice with your
finger. This is just like double-clicking with a mouse.
