Now the next song we will hear is of the Rock genre. Since we are not
changing the genre, the current song will continue until it is finished
playing. If we were to change genres to Blues, then the first Blues
song would begin playing.
Other Notes
Voice Prompting
When changing modes, the PhatBox will announce which mode it is
entering. This will help you as you learn the functions of the buttons
on the head unit. After using the PhatBox SSA interface for a period of
time and the functions of the buttons are memorized, you can disable
this voice prompting in the Features Mode. The voice that announces
the album, artist and genre cannot be disabled.
Random Play
Some head units have a Random button (usually labeled “RDM” or
“MIX”). If you press the Random button, the next track is picked
randomly from the current list of tracks, or from the entire cartridge.
These two options can be chosen via the Features Menu (mode 6).
The Album Sort Order
When in Album mode, albums are sorted first by artist name then by
album name. For example, consider the table below. It is sorted
alphabetically by album name without regard to the artist name.

If a user were listening to album #3 “Beats and Rhymes” by the artist
Blender, it would be difficult to find out that the other album by the
same artist -- “Straight Up” -- is also present in the database.
