Music Files
A music file refers to any audio file that Siren will play from your com-
puter. Siren supports the following music file formats: *.wav, *.mp3,
*.wma.
Finding Music
After you install Siren XPress, a configuration wizard will scan your
local hard drives for any *.mp3, *.wma, and *.wav files, and add them
to your Siren XPress music library. If you are unable to play music or
use the transport controls for Siren XPress after the installation
process, you can manually run the Configuration Wizard from Siren's
normal mode by choosing Configuration Wizard from the Options
menu.

Playlist button. To expand the compact mode, click the Expand con-
trol on the right end of the player. You can also use this control to col-
