iIn rapid scroll, track names are not shown,
but instead only Track 1, Track 2 etc. The
playback times for the tracks played are not
displayed. This is available as an optional
function starting with AVRCP Version 1.3.
There is also no music search option available
with Bluetooth
®Audio.
Selecting playback options
If the Bluetooth®audio device supports the cor-
responding function, the following options are
available:
RNormal Track Sequence: the tracks are
played in the normal order (e.g. track 1, 2, 3
etc.).
Audio data playback is determined by the
order in which the tracks are written to the
data medium. Alphabetical order is the most
common. Once all the tracks in a folder have
been played, the tracks in the next folder are
played.
RRandomTrackList: the current track list is
played in random order (e.g. 3, 8, 5 etc.).
RRandom Medium: all tracks on the data
medium are played in random order (e.g.
track 3, 8, 5 etc.). Playback options are optional functions and
are not, or only partially, supported by Blue-
tooth
