before the system plays any of your music. *
Autoplay
The system searches all the data from your indexed music
and, if available, begins to play the chosen type of music. You
can only play genres of music that are present in the GENRE
metadata tags that you have on your digital media player.

The system compiles a playlist and then plays music similar
to what is currently playing from the USB port using indexed
metadata information.

more like this)
The system searches for specific artist information from the
music indexed through the USB port.

The system searches for specific track information from the
music indexed through the USB port.
play [song | track | title |
file]

This allows you to make your previous command more
specific. For example, if you asked to search and play all music
by a certain artist, you could then say, refine album and
choose a specific album from the list to view. If you then
select Play, the system only plays music from that specific
album.
