Setting the Music Folder

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The Music Folder Screen is where you change the Music Folder selection.  Note that you can set the Music Folder to a location on your disk drive where there is no EZ Play DJ Database.  If you do that, the EZ Play DJ will create a new database at that location.

 

A Music Folder always has a Database subfolder and an MP3s subfolder, as shown below.  If you select a folder which does not have these, the EZ Play DJ will create them.  And the Database subfolder must contain an EZ Play DJ Database, otherwise one will be created.  The default set of Buttons and Column Headings which will be set up in this new Database, is controlled by a button on the System Configuration Screen.

 

 

Drive and Folder Buttons

 

Most of the Music Folder Screen contains Drive or Folder Buttons.  These buttons enable you to navigate through your file system to find the Folder  which you want to select.

 

Note that there are 15 buttons on the screen.  The 15 buttons shown on the screen comprise Page 1 of the Buttons.  But there can be more than one screen of buttons.

 

Next to each button is a box which contains the name of the drive or folder.

 

Page Control

 

Centered just below the 15 buttons is the Page Control.  It will be present only if more than 15 buttons are needed..

 

The Page Control has three parts -- a button on the left, a display panel in the center, and a button on the right. It is used for navigation among the various pages of buttons.  Press the button on the left to go to the previous page, and press the button on the right to go to the next page.  The page number is displayed in the display panel.

 

Creating a Folder

 

To create a subfolder in the currently selected folder, press the button labeled 'New Folder'.  This will open up a Keyboard Screen, where you can enter the name of the new folder.

 

Returning to the System Configuration Screen

 

Press the button labeled 'Done' to save your selection and return to the System Configuration Screen.  Press the button labeled 'Cancel' to discard your selection and return to the System Configuration Screen.
