feature and creates automatic Playlists based on your sorting preferences. You simply define the length of the desired
music program and determine the type of music you want from your pre-tagged Music Library. This feature is great in any
situation but a good example would be a party. Rather than manually creating a 4-hour long Playlist of your favorite dance
tunes by various artists, simply plug this criteria into the AutoDJ and let it quickly scan your entire Music Library and return
all search results in a single Playlist.
CDDB:
CDDB is a database comprised of thousands of artist, album, and track titles. Insert an audio CD in your CD ROM drive
and open the recorder screen. If you are connected to the Internet, your program will make a connection with this site and it
will match the serial number of your CD with their records and import all title, artist, and track data into the Recorder screen.
This information will cross over to the Music Library, as ID3 tags, upon recording completion, saving you the tedious data
entry task.
Themes:
Themes change the overall look, and sometimes the layout, of MusicMatch Jukebox, by applying a new GUI (graphical user
interface) to the program. This is a great way to personalize your program and keep it dynamic. Different Themes are
available within the MusicMatch program by choosing Options\View\Change Theme, and they are fun and easy to use.
GUI (Graphical User Interface):
The GUI is the physical appearance of the software. If you select a different Theme you change the GUI.
