Notes and Rules:
1) Get Playlist numbers by pressing INFO (ALT + 9) while the cursor is over the Playlist name.
2) Playlist numbers do not change, even if a Playlist before it is deleted.
3) New Playlists take the lowest available Playlist number.
4) The Playlist order in the GUI does not directly reflect the Playlist number (i.e. the third Playlist on the GUI might be Playlist
number 5).
Artist/Album Hierarchy: The Artist System Playlist, now shows all of that artist’s albums. You can go inside that artist’s
albums to songs ordered by the album track order.
Additional Items (only shown if existing):
All Songs – If an artist has more than one album, then “All Songs” is displayed in the album list with all of the songs by that
artist in Alphabetical order.
Singles – If an artist has albums with only one song, then they will be listed under a “—Singles—” heading.
Collections – If an album has multiple artists in it, then it’s a Collection. A “—Collections—” heading will be created in each
artist in the Collection and display the full album beneath it.
Notes:
1) This does not require any modification to existing control interfaces such as Crestron, AMX, or Elan.
2) Singles and Collections headings are non-selectable, non-playable fields in the GUI.
New, Improved Web Server: The built-in AudioReQuest web server is a powerful interface empowering users with the ability
to control and manage their AudioReQuest and music collection using a web browser from inside their home network and/or
from anywhere in the world using the Internet. The web server has tools to create and manage Playlists, export the music
collection to a spreadsheet, and change system settings of the AudioReQuest. In addition, the user can query their music
collection and have their selections play immediately on their AudioReQuest as well as stream the music to their computer
AND broadcast their music mix as an Internet Radio Station for friends and family.
To access the web server, make sure your network and AudioReQuest are configured properly. Point a web browser from a
computer on your network to the ARQ’s IP address or http://ARQNAME, where ARQNAME is the name of the ARQ you set
in Network configuration.
Pro to Pro NetSync (Pro as a Zone): An ARQ1 or ARQ2 Pro can now be configured as an ARQ Zone to Netsync to other
Pros. In this mode, the Pro will behave like a Zone and mirrors its Host completely. No additions, edits or deletes are
available in this mode. However, it still can behave as a Netsync host so other clients (ARQ Zones and other “Pro As a
Zone” machines) can Netsync from it.
To change to “Pro As a Zone” mode, go to Menu/Netsync/Pro to Pro Settings and enable it. Next, go to Menu/Netsync/Client
Netsync Settings to select the Master Host and Netsync mode (Auto, Backup, No Automatic Netsync). To restore full Pro
functionality, set Pro to Pro Settings to Off. Settings are also available on the ARQ built-in web server.
Improved Searching : Pressing an alphanumeric letter will jump to the next available item beginning with that letter and bring
it to the top of the list. If that letter doesn’t exist, it will go to the next available letter.
Better Internal CD Lookup (CD Update and New Units only): The Embedded CD Lookup now recognizes over 600,000
albums. The unit must have more than 1GB free on its hard drive for this feature to be added work. If you do not have more
than 1GB free, the rest of the update will be performed but you will not get the updated database.
Shuffle
and Repeat Locks: Disables Shuffle and Repeat from toggling. Locks are found in Menu/Feature Settings.
TV Lock:
Forces the ARQ to always output TV signal instead of auto-detecting on boot-up. Useful for video switches. Note:
With TV forced on, the VGA output might get misaligned. Found in Menu/Feature Settings and Menu/TV Settings.
Network IP Settings:
Can now be changed without needing to reboot the unit. Note: Changing ARQNAME still requires a
reboot.
New serial commands:
Clear Now Playing (0x30,0xA0)
Autorip On (0x30, 0x92)
Autorip Off (0x30, 0x93)
