Select a song to play

Tap the Selection box to choose a song to play.

When the search screen comes up, type a word that is in the title of the song you want to play. The list will begin to populate with every song containing your search word (s). You may scroll through this list at any point. Once you see your title, tap it, then tap the Confirm button.

The Selection box will now display the selected song.

Play the song

Unless you change the arrangement and instrument from the default settings, the Music Style you have selected in the Settings menu will be used (when multiple arrangements are enabled in settings, the system will randomly choose one).

Pressing the green play button will open a verification dialog that waits for you to press OK to play the song, or queue it with other songs your previously have selected. While the verification dialog is open, the automatic schedule is suspended for up to one hour. After you play the selection(s), the system will return to automatic standby.

While the selection is playing you can search other titles and/or arrangements of the same song and add them to the queue with the play button. The blue Next selection button will cancel the current song and advance to the next in queue. The red Stop button will cancel all.

Try other arrangement and instruments

You may choose alternate Arrangement styles and Instruments. They are defined in the Glossary.

You may also listen to combinations of Arrangements and Instruments in Music or Ringing Preferences under Settings. This is where your default options are selected.
