Squeezebox™ Boom User Guide 17
The number of playlists you can save is limited only by the hard drive space
on your computer.
Clearing the Now Playing List
Selecting a track, album, genre, or playlist from your music collection or from
an online music service and pressing play will clear the Now Playing list and
replace it with the selected item.
TIP: if you’re entertaining and you hand the remote control to a guest
and invite them to select a song, it’s important to show them how to use
the add button to add their song to Now Playing. If they hit play instead
of add, it will replace your list with their song. If you have repeat mode
enabled, it will continue to play that song until all of your guests leave
in dismay. That’s also why it’s important to save your Now Playing list as
a playlist on your computer before your guests arrive, so if your lovingly
crafted music set is accidentally erased by a guest, you can restore it
easily by selecting Music Library > Playlists from the Home Screen.
How to Mute Your Music
Since Boom is like a CD player, there’s no need for a Mute button. For most
music sources, you can hit pause and enjoy the ability to come back to your
music at exactly the same point later.
Music from your library, as well as music from interactive online services, can
generally be paused for as long as you like. If you are listening to a streaming
radio station, pressing pause will pause the music until Squeezebox Boom’s
memory buffer is full. The memory buffer can store several minutes of music,
with the exact length dependent on the radio station’s sampling rate.
To fully stop playing an item, press and hold pause for a few seconds.
