When you request the PMA to
play songs in a row, I set out
to play two or three in a row
by choosing a single song. I
then select two or three more
songs from the same artist in
the theme.
If there aren't two other
songs by the same artist, I
add less, or if the songs
selected are already in the
song queue, I won't add
more.

Configure a Theme
PMA Effect
You can also limit how much "control" your PMA has over your theme.
Only Random
Choose this if you want to build your theme with no PMA help.
Mostly Random
This selection lets the PMA help a little, but you are still in charge.
Mostly PMA
Your PMA has much more control, but you can still put in your two cents.
Only PMA
The PMA is holding the reins and you are along for the great ride.
What to Play
What's your preference? Do you want to hear two or three Beatles songs in a row
whenever they come up to be played? How about albums only, so you can get the full
effect of Pink Floyd's The Wall? Maybe you're in the mood for a change, so you want to
hear a variety of single songs. You can change this setting at any time, in case your pref-
erences change – and they will!
Add Music
This is another place where you can have it your way. Choose "Manual" if you want
control over what songs are added to your theme, and "Automatic" if you want the PMA
to do it for you.
