Music
The Music center plays your local music collection and makes it beautiful to look at. A living spectrum visualizer dances in time with the sound, album art is shown in large format, and you can browse by album, artist, genre, year or search. Set it going and the music keeps playing by itself, so there is always something on - background music for the room, or the heart of the party.
Included in: Home and Professional with your own library. Room plays the music another machine shares.

A closer look
Browse the way you think
Your collection is available as Albums, Artists, Genres, Years and Search. On the search page you can use the on-screen keyboard or simply start typing on a physical keyboard - the text drops straight into the search field - and a small button next to it switches what the search targets: everything, albums, artists or songs. From any song you can jump straight to every other track by the same artist, genre or year.
One queue, and the music never stops
Build the queue from any view with Play now, Play next, Add all, Shuffle and Clear. A playlist can be set to keep playing: when the queue runs dry, Digital Center pulls in a new track by itself - from the whole library or from a genre, year, decade, artist or a reserve playlist. A theme filters the library to, say, "Christmas" or "Kids", and every new queue stays inside it. Set it once and the music runs all evening on its own, with no one tending it.

Frequently asked questions
How does my music get into the Music center?
You point the Music center at the folders where your music already lives - on the PC or on a network drive - and it builds the library itself, with cover art and details. Nothing is copied or imported. Drop new songs into a watched folder and they appear on their own, without a restart and without a rescan button.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. Your music plays from your own disk. The internet is only used when you deliberately look up covers and details for a track in ZenPoint Media Manager.
Can guests queue songs at a party?
Yes. In Party Mode the screen becomes a locked jukebox, and guests scan a QR code to browse your music and queue songs from their own phone - with the rules you set, and with no access to your files or settings.
Which music files can it play?
The Music center plays MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG and WMA files. Point it at the folders where your songs live, and it builds the library itself with cover art and details.
Does the music stop when the queue runs out?
No. A playlist can be set to keep playing: when the queue runs dry, Digital Center pulls in a new track by itself - from the whole library or from a genre, year, decade, artist or a reserve playlist - so the music never stops on its own.
What if my songs are missing cover art or tidy details?
The Music center shows what your files carry, and the included ZenPoint Media Manager fills the gaps: fix titles, artists and albums, drag on cover art or look it up online, and even out the loudness so nothing jumps out of the mix.
Can I limit the music to a theme, like Christmas or kids songs?
Yes. A theme filters the whole library to, say, Christmas or Kids, and every new queue stays inside it - handy for a season, an event or a family-friendly screen.
Can I get music off a CD?
Yes. ZenPoint Media Manager imports the tracks from a CD straight into your music folder, ready to play in the Music center.
