[. . . ] Data Sheet SMART MEDIA SERVERS SMS3, SMS3-250 The SMS3 or SMS3-250 Smart Media Server is an intelligent audio source that plays music stored on its hard drive and Internet radio in three independent output streams. [. . . ] It can also be controlled by IR remote control, from a computer, or through an RS232 serial port. The listener loads music from CDs into the Media Server through a built-in CD-ROM reader or transfers music files from a connected computer. The listener can then organize the music into themes by genre or artist for random playback or put songs in playlists for playing back in a specific order. As the Media Server is used, its unique Personal Media Assistant learns the listener's music preferences for each theme and applies those preferences to its automated song selection. The Media Server has a schedule feature that can be set to play themes at specified times. It can also pick up an Internet radio feed at scheduled times of the day for news or favorite programming. With an Internet connection, the Media Server obtains CD information from Gracenote® music recognition service and album cover art from Muze® entertainment information service. This information, called metadata, includes song title, artist and album name, and genre (rock, jazz, etc. ). When no Internet connection is present, the Media Server checks the database loaded into its firmware for CD information.
