Media - Sony Ericsson G900c White Paper

Media

Media is a unified presentation for multimedia
content like pictures, music, and video. The
individual applications in Media can be run in either
portrait view or landscape view.
Photo Album
Note: For supported file formats, and more, see
Pictures on page 69.
The Photo album in G900c is divided into:
• Latest photo – the latest captured photo/video
saved in the phone or on a memory card.
• Camera album – photos and videos captured
with a camera, presented in chronological
order, by month.
• Photo tags – this is where previously tagged
photos can be viewed.
Music player
Note: For supported file formats, and more, see
Music player on page 66.
The Music player in G900c is similar to the
Walkman® player used in Sony Ericsson W960,
but it has been further-developed.
The keypad, the 5-way navigation key and the
volume button are used to start and stop playback,
switch tracks and adjust volume.
Songs may be collected in numerous ways,
including Internet download and file transfer from
PC.
The phone comes with the Media Manager PC
program that supports the extracting of songs from
CDs, compression and transfer to the phone.
Thanks to the USB high-speed support, the
transferring goes extremely quick (1 GB of data can
be transferred in about three minutes).
Media is the result of the implementation of the
successful XrossMediaBar concept, developed by
Sony for its Playstations.
• Pictures – pictures that are not captured with a
camera, such as preloaded and downloaded
pictures.
X-Pict Story™
Using X-Pict Story a user can create quality slide
shows by easily combining pictures and music and
adding professional transitions. The result is
convincing!
Music can be further organized on the G900c.
Music is grouped by Album, with album art being
displayed on the screen, by Artist or arranged in
user-created playlists.
The player also automatically generates playlists
based on, for example, the most or least played
songs.
The Music player features an equalizer with
predefined settings like Mega Bass™, Pop and
Classical.
The Music player is intelligently aware of other
applications in G900c. Playback is automatically
paused when a telephone call is made or received.
