Create a custom icon

You can create icons to represent different categories: artists, albums, radio stations,

playlists, or years. Each one of these has a default icon:

Artist Album Genre Radio Playlist Year

For most albums, the default icon will be replaced by a copy of the real album cover

downloaded over the Internet from an online data source when converting a CD with the

Ripper Utility, or updating Music Information with the MusicInfo Wizard.

However, album icons, like genre, artist, song, radio, playlist, and year icons, can also be

replaced with a custom graphic of your own selection or design.

1. Create a .jpg

The Librarian Utility will automatically scale the graphic for display on the touchscreen

before it stores the graphic in the Music Library, but you should try and keep the shape of

the graphic roughly square. For example, if you wanted to create a graphic for use as an

icon for a playlist, it might look something like this:

CoolestPlaylist.jpg

You should save the file with a descriptive name, such as ‘CoolestPlaylsit.jpg’ for our

example. The file should be stored in the Default JPG Directory.

2. Select a View and the Level, and select the desired item

Depending on the item with which you’d like to associate an icon, select the

corresponding view from the Action buttons:

Or you can select on of these from the View option of the main menu.

) Refer to View Options on page 76 for more information.

4. Locate and select the image file

In order to search your entire PC or network for all .jpg image files and load them into

the database, click on the Find button. Any graphics files the Librarian Utility finds will

be added to the Music Library.

To access a specific folder, navigate to that folder using the Available Images navigator

on the lower right.

A list of image files will appear in the Image Name field.
