Opening Music and working with your library

After you’ve copied some music onto your SD card or USB storage, as described in
“Transferring music files to your phone” on page 308, or downloaded music from
another source, you can open Music and see your library of music files, sorted in one
of four ways.

Open Music and view your music library

S

Touch the Music icon

in the Launcher or on the Home screen.

See “Opening and switching applications” on page 41 to learn more about opening
and switching applications.

When you copy music to your SD card or USB storage, Music searches it for music
files and builds a catalog of your music, based on information about each file that
is stored in the file itself. This can take from a few seconds to several minutes,
depending on the number of files.

When the catalog is complete, the Music library screen opens, with tabs that you
can touch to view your music library organized by Artists, Albums, Songs, or
Playlists.

You can return to the main Library screen from most other screens in the Music
application by pressing Menu

and touching Library.

Touch a tab to view your library in one of
four ways.

Touch the summary of the current track
to open the Playback screen.
