recognition by not allowing selection of
song titles by voice at the highest level if
the number of songs exceeds the maximum
limit.
Voice command option changes through
media content limits are:
.
Song files including other individual files
of all media types such as audiobook
chapters, podcast episodes, and videos.
.
Album type folders including types such
as albums and audiobooks.
There are no restrictions if the number of
song files and albums is less than 4,000.
When the number of song files connected to
the system is between 4,000 and 8,000, the
content cannot be accessed directly with
one command like
“
Play <song name>.
”
The restriction is that the command
“
Play
Song
”
must be spoken first; the system will
then ask for the song name. The reply
command would be to say the name of the
song to play.
Similar limits exist for album content.
If there are more than 4,000 albums, but
less than 8,000, the content cannot be
accessed directly with one command like,
“
Play <album name>.
”
The command
“
Play
Album
”
must first be spoken; the system
will then ask for the album name. The reply
would be to say the name of the album
to play.
Once the number of songs has exceeded
approximately 8,000, there is no support for
accessing the songs directly through voice
commands. There will still be access to the
media content by using commands for
playlists, artists, and genres.
The access commands for playlists, artists,
and genres are prohibited after the number
of this type of media exceeds 4,000.
The system will provide feedback the first
time voice recognition is initiated if it has
become apparent that any of these limits
are reached during a device initializing
process.
