Editing library items on a computer (Browser Edit function)

The new feature “Browser Edit function” enables you to display music information

(song names, artist names, etc) and playlists stored in the library of your MucicCAST

server with a web browser on a computer, and effectively edit them only with input

devices (keyboard and mouse). For information on the library and how to edit library

items using the MusicCAST server's remote controller, refer to page 57 of the MCX-

1000 Owner’s Manual.

Library items you can edit on a computer are as follows:

• Edit names (song, artist, album, genre, collection, playlist)

• Create/delete playlists

• Add/delete/move/copy/rearrange (change the playback order) playlist items
