Sis
Sis is a textbook pre-teen. She can listen to the same song over and over and over.
She wants to hear her favorites again and again, and doesn't want to be bothered with
theme tinkering. Here's how her theme will be set up:
Name: Girl's Only
Is a Playlist: No (plays songs in varying order)
PMA Prefers: Highest Rated (plays more-requested songs more often)
PMA Effect: Only PMA (PMA chooses all the songs)
What to Play: Single songs (plays individual songs)
Add Music: Automatic (PMA adds all user choices to theme)
Configure a Theme
Now that you have an idea of how the Configure Theme options direct the theme
building, let's return to the Configure section on the Edit Theme page and build your newly
named Theme.
Theme Icon
You can choose a photo or graphic from the default theme icon collection to suit
your theme. This graphic will appear next to your Theme's name on the Home page.
Click on the icon to bring up the collection of available icons. Click on your choice; the
media server returns to the Configure Theme page with the new icon in place.
Name
This field shows the name you have chosen for your theme. To edit the name, click
on the name and enter the desired name, using the Rename entry field pop-up. Click on
OK to finish.
Is a Playlist
A "playlist" theme (choose Yes) plays the theme's songs one after another as listed
and cycles to the top of the list when finished. A "non-playlist" theme (choose No) allows
for more random song selection.
PMA Prefers
Do you want the Personal Media Assistant to do the work of building your theme?
This is where you make that choice. The PMA can choose music by different criteria:
Highest Rated, Longest Since Heard, or Recently Added. Your choice here provides
direction for the PMA how to build up this theme when new music is added to the media
server.
Configure a Theme
For best PMA service, create
only a handful of different
Themes. Each theme has its
own PMA, so the more
themes you have, the less
time the PMA has to watch
you and learn your prefer-
ences if you are hopping from
theme to theme.
