Q
How does the uMusic
A
You can enjoy the uMusic
musical selections without knowing anything about its
inner workings. But if you're curious, read on.
When you store a CD in
the media center, the
uMusic system looks it up
in a built-in catalog of
music information. The
catalog entry for each CD
includes 30 different characteristics of the music such as
style, tone, related artists, key influences and musicians
who play on the CD.
The uMusic system examines this information for all the
CDs you store and finds connections among them.
In Figure 1, the rectangles in the picture represent the
songs in your collection. The first time you turn on the
system (and each time you
initiate a new preset), the
uMusic system doesn't
know what kind of music
you'd like to hear in this
preset. All the songs have
the same neutral rating,
indicated by the yellow
color. The uMusic system
starts playing songs for
you selected from your
whole collection.
