Select
Media player > Music. The first time you open
Music, tap the
Update button, or select More > Update
music with the flip closed, to search the phone memory
and the Memory Stick for sound files. This process may
take a while, especially if you have a high capacity
Memory Stick with a lot of sound files. You can select if
this update should be performed automatically each time
you open the Media player, or if you want to do it
manually. If you select to do it manually, the command
Update will be available as a button and in the menu.
You can also select which types of sound files an update
should search for. See Preferences on page 73.
All tracks, including those that do not contain any album
or artist information, can be found under
Tracks.
My recordings contain clips that you have recorded with
Sound recorder. To further organize your music files,
you can create
Playlists.
Playlists
A playlist is simply a list of links to some of your music
files, and it describes which songs to play and in which
order. This also means that when you remove a track
from a playlist, the sound file itself is not deleted.
A playlist can contain links to tracks both in the phone
and on a Memory Stick, and you can add a track to more
than one playlist.
