What it is

Muzak NextBox is a partnership between Muzak and commercial NextBox manufacturer Rowe International.
The existing Rowe Nostalgia NextBox has been modified to include a touch screen display, allowing the user
to view and interface with Muzak's music program. The NextBox operates in a free-play mode only.

How it works

One or more of Muzak's standard Audio Architecture or custom music programs are loaded onto an
Encompass CM hard drive. The NextBox display receives the song title and artist information from the
Encompass CM and displays this in a sortable format for user selection.
A user may search the song list in artist or title order to make a song selection. To protect the integrity of the
Audio Architecture, the VAA software then inserts the selected song when it next fits into the program play
clock. When no songs are selected the Encompass CM's Virtual Audio Architect (VAA) software dynamically
generates play lists, based upon play clocks and rules established by Muzak's Audio Architects.
The NextBox also includes a screen saver feature that cycles images after a predefined period of time.
Touching the display automatically returns the user to the song list.
