Keyword Searching:
Searching for songs is fast and easy. You can enter all or part
of an artist or song title using the search fields. Then press the SEARCH
button to display matching results. Press the CLEAR button at anytime
to clear the search fields. You can also use the radio buttons to select
how you would like the results sorted; either by artist or song title.
If you don't know the exact spelling of a song title or artist, just
enter one word you know for sure is in the name. The search engine will
return all songs or artists containing that word.
Browsing:
The browse features allow you to browse through the music catalog.
This is a great option if you don't know the spelling of an artist or
song title or just want to browse through the catalog to see what's
available. You can browse all artists or song titles beginning with
a particular letter, or just click the "artists" or "songs" links to
display all artists or songs in the entire catalog.
You can press the "Top 200 Songs" button at anytime to view a list of
the most requested songs of the past 12 months.
Search Filters:
Optional search fields may be available to help narrow your search.
To apply a filter, select it from the drop-down list. The search filter
will be applied to ALL searches performed from then on until you press
the Remove Filter button. So if you apply a filter and then use the
browse links, the results will be filtered appropriately.
Search Results:
The results of your search are displayed in alphabetical order,
sorted by the field you choose when searching. Up to 50 entries are
displayed per page. If there are more than 50 entries, a NEXT link will
appear at the bottom right of the search results box. Once you click
through to the next page you will notice that a PREVIOUS link will appear
to the bottom left of the search results box. When you get to the last
page of results, the NEXT link will disappear. Pressing the New Search
button in the upper right of the search results box will clear your
entire search.
Song Samples:
Next to each artist in the search results you will notice a speaker
icon. To listen to a song sample, click on the speaker icon. This
will launch a music application and automatically search for your
selected artist and song. After it finishes searching, you should locate the album, artist, and
song title from the list and click it to start playing the song sample.
