2.2.2 Playing Songs Directly from a USB Memory
Stick
You can use a USB memory stick as storage for songs that can be
played via the playlists feature.
To add songs and create a playlist for a USB memory stick, you must
create a root file on the USB memory stick called MusicLibrary.txt.
This file can contain the following entries:
• playlistname=<text entered by customer>
• createplaylist=no
• useexistingplaylist=yes
If createplaylist=no is found in MusicLibrary.txt, a playlist is not cre-
ated for the imported files.
If useexistingplaylist=yes is used, new songs will be added to the
playlist defined by the playlistname option.
Music files must be on the root directory of the USB memory stick.
Valid formats for these files are mp3, wav, and aac.
The Nyquist server automatically mounts the USB memory stick, adds
all songs found in the root directory to the songs list, and creates a
playlist for the added songs. The default name for the playlist is USB
Music Library.
