Playlist
A list of tracks organized for playback is a
common feature of digital media players and
MP3 players. REX will recognize and follow these
playlists when you select them for playback. You
can also build a REX-specic playlist called the
REX Queue.
Power On/Off
From Stand By mode, REX must be Powered
On to play music. To stop playing music and
return to Stand By mode, the unit must be
Powered Off. To Power On (or Off), press the
power button.
REX Queue
Using REX, you can build a REX-specic playlist
of music les. Your REX Queue is stored in the
REX memory until you clear it or until the REX
is disconnected from power. The REX-specic
playlist is different from playlists that you
create using media player software, an iPod,
or another MP3 player. However, REX can play
music using those playlists, too.
Stand By mode
Stand By is the default mode for a REX when
attached to power. In Stand By mode, the display
serves as a digital clock. To leave Stand By
mode and listen to music, Power On the unit by
pressing the power or source button. To return to
Stand By mode, Power Off the unit by pressing
the power button.
SSID
A service set identier (SSID) is a unique alpha-
numeric code that serves as the name for a
wireless local area network. The SSID is used
by each device that is part of the network to
facilitate the exchange of data over the network.
USB mass storage devices
USB mass storage devices can store digital data
and, in the case of MP3 players, sort and play
music les. This class of device includes MP3
players, ash drives, and USB hard drives.
Media player software
Software that allows digital media to play on a
computer. Some media players, such as iTunes
and Windows Media Player, also act as “servers”
by making music les available to REX and other
devices over your home network.
MP3 player
MP3 players are hand-held music players that
store, manage, and play digital music les. The
best known MP3 player is the iPod, but there are
many competing players on the market. MP3
players are named after the well known music-
le format but they usually handle a variety of
le formats.
Now Playing mode
Now Playing mode is the default mode for a REX
that is playing music. If you are browsing or view-
ing the Current Queue while listening to music,
the display will default to Now Playing after a
period of inactivity. In Now Playing mode, the
display shows the current track, artist, album,
album art, and a playback progress bar. You can
select Now Playing mode while browsing or
viewing the Current Queue.
