EDITING THE LIBRARY

Your Audio Server labels the albums, artists and tracks 
in your

 Library

 with names which identify the track you 

are listening to, and these help you locate items when 
you are browsing through the

 Library

.

If you have an Internet connection, your Audio Server 
reads the CD information automatically from the 
Gracenote Music Recognition Service.  You can edit 
these names at any stage to suit your own preferences.
