Music Archiving Functions

When recording audio sources, you can add information to each song--such as the song title, artist name, album name and genre--
then store it to the music archive in the MCX-2000 hard drive. This information can then be used to find specific songs you want to
play. Because the MCX-2000 incorporates a special song database system (based on Gracenote CDDB), this information will be set
automatically if your songs are from popular music CDs. Other useful functions include Playlist and Bookmark, letting you create cus-
tom song lists appropriate to specific occasions (such as parties, morning "wake-up" music, etc.) and allowing you to mark your favor-
ite tunes for quick access.

CD Recording Functions

This function lets you create a music mix CD of your own selections by arranging archived songs in your favorite order. You can also
use this function to duplicate existing music CDs, allowing you to copy your personal mixes to CD and give it to your friends.
• Recording Archived Songs to a CD
• Duplicating a Music CD

Music Streaming Functions

Once songs are archived (recorded) on the MCX-2000 hard drive, you can stream them to up to 15 clients via the MusicCAST net-
work. The MCX-2000 can deliver the same music to each client simultaneously (broadcast). It can also deliver different songs to differ-
ent clients at the same time, at the request of each client. In addition, the MCX-2000 supports remote control of clients via the
MusicCAST network, allowing you to operate them without having to go to each unit individually.
• Streaming the Same Music to All Clients
• Operating a Client Remotely
