Music Files

A music file refers to any audio file that Siren will play from your computer. 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.
You can also search your hard drive(s) for music to add to your music library any time by choosing Search
Computer for Music from the Options menu.

Playing Music

Siren will allow you to play *.mp3, *.wma, and *.wav files, as well as audio CDs. You can start playing music
immediately by clicking on the Play button in either compact or normal mode.

Playing music by type

With the compact mode expanded, click on the Select Playlist button. From the menu that displays, you can
select your music by Album, Artist, Genre, or Playlist, or choose to play an Audio CD.
Transport Controls
All of the transport controls (Play, Pause, Next Song . . . ) effect music file playback, unless there is a music
CD in the PC's CD/DVD drive or Audio CD is selected using the Select Playlist button. In these cases clicking
Play will start CD playback. To re-assign the Transport Controls to music file playback simply select My Music
or My Playlists from the Select Play list button.

Graphic Effects

Siren XPress displays dazzling visual effects during audio playback. Siren XPress defaults to random visual
effects. To choose a particular effects pattern, right-click on the visual display and choose from the list of
available graphic effects.
