- The artist browser
- Importing and exporting wishlists
- Symbols used for Wishes
You can put diverse media content on a wishlist:
- artists
- albums
- individual tracks
You can have an arbitrary mixture of such items on a wish list. Oceans XStream will search websites and radio stations and record your music wishes.
The artist browser
The Artist browser is updated on a regular basis. However, sometimes it takes a while for a new album, song or artist to appear in the artist browser. The artist browser data is used for the recommendation function that assists you with selecting and submitting your music wishes. The wishlist also fulfills wishes for songs and artists that are not located in the artist browser.
Symbol | Description | Meaning |
---|---|---|
Magic wand | This symbol denotes wishes, and recordings which were recorded by the Music wishes view. You can add artists, albums and individual songs to your wishlist to get them fulfilled. | |
Bar graph | This symbol denotes the popularity of a certain artist. Song wishes for popular artists are generally fulfilled faster than those by unpopular artists. |
