You can load music from your CDs into the Media Server through a built-in CD-ROM reader or transfer music files from your computer. Using easy-to-navigate screens on your TV or computer, you can then organize the songs into themes by genre or artist for random playback or create playlists to play them back in any order you want. As you use the Media Server, its unique Personal Media Assistant learns your music preferences for each theme and applies those preferences to its automated song selection.

With the Media Server connected to the Internet, you can even enjoy Internet radio throughout your home. The SMS3 also stores and organizes digital photos, which you can show on your TV individually or as slide shows.
