## Playing
Enter the frequency in MHz of the station you want to play and either click the triangular Play button on the toolbar, or just hit return. When the receiver attains synchronization, the pilot in the lower left corner of the status bar will turn green. It will return to gray if synchronization is lost. If the device itself becomes 'lost', the pilot will turn red to indicate an error has occurred (this is the theory, though I've yet to see this status message happen in practice). The synchronization process may take about 10 seconds, and the station will begin to play. This depends upon signal strength and whether it's relatively free from adjacent interference. After a short while, the station name will appear to the right of the frequency, and the available streams will show on a row of buttons just beneath the frequency entry. Clicking one of these buttons will change to that particular stream. Note: No settings other than stream may be changed while the device is playing.
## Album Art & Track Info
Some stations will send album art and station logos. These will fill the Album Art tab, as they are made available by the station. Most stations will send the song title, artist, album, and genre. These are displayed in the Track Info pane, also if available.
The user can override what the stations send by enabling the DL Album Art setting. This will use the Title and Artist information to retrieve album art from MusicBrainz. If no album art is found, the station logo will be used, if available.

If no album art is found, the station logo will be used, if available. The title, artist, album, and genre (if available) will be cached when new album art is found, and will be automatically displayed when that art is used.
The user can change the logo of the playing station by right-clicking in the Album Art area. This will display a popup prompting you for the URL of an image found on the web. Pasting the URL in the box and clicking 'Ok' will download the image and set the logo of the playing station with it.
