'DNA' Symbol Now Playing Screen
First Post Here.
2 weeks into owning my shiny XC90 T8 R Design Pro with all the bells and whistles. I'm starting to get comfortable with the basics, but as an audiophile, I'm baffled as to a symbol in the Now Playing screen on the Sensus console. I've loaded up a USB stick with 4.5k songs and in that screen, the symbol can best be described as looking like a DNA string. I have no idea what this does! Also, once I press it and its illuminated, it is very hard to switch off I've uploaded a picture. Our Sales guy at the dealer says the symbol "basically put the whole playlist on shuffle" Any help appreciated! Thanks |

I had always assumed that was the gracenote symbol as it seems to be present when gracenote is turned on... but it's not the gracenote company logo, so now i'm not so sure...

It is meant to be the Gracenote thing I believe - although I've no idea what it does.
I never use it, but when I've tried it with my USB music (4,000 songs) all it does is stay illuminated and play the current track over and over again, and its really hard to get off!!! No idea what its intended functionality is.... |

There's nothing in the manual and nothing online. Very strange.

Its one of the sellections for playing continuous or repeat track or album etc I cant remember which it is but it is to do with those type of sellections.

It's in my manual (page 516). It's called 'Similar'
Similar - tap on the button in order to use Gracenote to search for similar music on the USB device and to create a playlist from it. The playlist can contain a maximum of 50 songs.

James77 is correct. It is the equivalent of a ‘genius’ playlist on Apple. Play one song and it plays similar ones for you.

A-mazing! Thank you guys! The symbol kinda makes sense now. I've just searched for "similar" in the manual (mobile app version) and found the page.
Thanks so much Its a neat feature actually. If I'm liking a particular song, I know that by hitting that, I can get the next 50 (?) songs of the same type. ....Only problem is turning it off! |
