Listening To Songs Stored On The Server - Yamaha MusicCAST MCX-C15 Manuel De Référence

LISTENING TO SONGS STORED ON THE SERVER

Two kinds of files are available for playback from
your client: MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) and
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation).
MP3 files do not take up a large amount of space,
enabling you to store approximately 1,000 CDs on
the server.
PCM files provide better sound quality during
playback, they require large amounts of space. You
can store approximately 100 CDs in PCM format.
The client displays an "*" (asterisk) next to the
names of songs stored in this format. If the server is
set to distribute PCM files, you can play back PCM
files on one client at a time. For details, see the
MCX-1000 Owner's Manual, page 125.
Playback groups
The client retrieves and plays back music files
stored on the server. You can play back songs
grouped by artist, album or genre, as well as play
back songs at random, from pre-chosen lists or in
playback groups. Playback groups are defined by
your playback selection. For example, selecting an
album from the "Albums" menu for playback sets
albums as the playback group. Further, you can
choose to play back groups repeatedly (see the
Owner's Manual, page 20), play back songs at
random from within a playback group (see the
Owner's Manual, page 21), or play back all of the
songs in the currently selected group (see the
Owner's Manual, page 22).
