than WMA, WAV, and MP3 that may be in those folders will be filtered from view.
There are two ways to access your music, by selecting Browse hard disk or by searching the songs’ tag
information, Artist, Album, title, etc. In the case of Browse hard drive, you will be sent directly to the Music
folder of your Gmini. Here you can look at all your music files and the folders on your Gmini’s hard drive as if you
were browsing files with a computer. Or, you can search your music by tag information, artist, album, song name,
year, or genre. The Unknown category indicates that the file has no tag data.
To select a music file, use the joystick UP and DOWN controls to move upwards or downwards and ENTER to
enter a highlighted subfolder or tag category. Click ENTER to play the highlighted song. Use LEFT to leave a
folder and go back to the previous level.
