The Librarian Utility
The TerraPlayer utilizes the Music Library to store information on where to find audio
files on the PC(s), Music Information, album covers, radio stations, and playlists. The
Music Library is a self-maintaining database, so you won’t have to worry much about it.
But, the Librarian Utility offers you some fantastic features by giving you direct access to
the Music Library. For example, you can assign custom graphics as icons for anything
selectable in the TerraPlayer: genres, artists, years, and radio stations on the touchscreen.
There are also tools for setting up local call letters for AM/FM radio stations (TR-100
only).
Internet Connection and the Librarian Utility
It is recommended that you log in and maintain a live Internet connection during a
session with the Librarian Utility, so it can be used to update Music Information
downloaded from a data source on the web.
Accessing the Librarian Utility
The Librarian Utility can be accessed by clicking on the Librarian
button of the TerraLaunch window.
When you start the Librarian Utility, you will be prompted to search for
Radio Station Playlists.
If you click No, the Librarian Utility will open. If you click Yes, you
will be prompted to choose which hard drives to search:
Click the All checkbox to search all drives, or click on specific checkboxes in the list to
search particular drive. Click Scan, and the computer will search the drive(s) for Radio
Station Playlists, then open the Librarian Utility.
