each track to compile a playlist, creates a new list of similar
tracks, and then begins playing that list. (Each track must
have populated metadata tags for this feature.)
Similar music
With some devices, unpopulated metadata tags make
the tracks unavailable for voice recognition, play menu or
this option. However, if you place these tracks onto your
playing device in mass storage device mode, they are
available for voice recognition, play menu and this option.
The system places unknowns into any unpopulated
metadata tag.
