    There is a new test in KS (and a reorganization of the 'Music' tests) for this feature. - 'Phone -> Music' now points to a selection of multiple music tests - 'Phone -> Music -> Music Picker' is the old 'Phone -> Music' test - The new 'Phone -> Music -> Music Query' test runs as: ---- This test must be run on a device with media installed for the iPod. Clicking the 'Query! [check your log]' button will produce output in the log like the following, consisting of (title, artist, genre) triplets: {quote} [INFO] 0: (Bioshock Main Theme (The Ocean on His Shoulders),Garry Schyman,Game) [INFO] 1: (The Ocean,Led Zeppelin,Rock) [INFO] 2: (The Ocean Is The Ultimate Solution,Frank Zappa,Alternative & Punk) [INFO] 3: (Ocean Man,Ween,Rock) [INFO] 4: (Ocean of Lust,DeVotchKa,Rock) [INFO] 5: (Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans,Smashing Pumpkins,Alternative & Punk) [INFO] 6: (Songs Of The Ocean,Star One,Progressive Metal) [INFO] 7: (Songs Of The Ocean,Star One,Progressive Metal) {quote} Or a 'No results!' result, indicating a nonmatch. 1. Each text field indicates an ID3 tag in the media library to match against as part of the query. 2. The 'exact' toggles turns on/off exact matching. Exact matching INCLUDES case-sensitivity. 3. With all fields empty, regardless of 'exact'ness, the result should be all media installed on the device. 4. Results should be sorted alphabetically by title TESTING ---- Simply make sure that some sensible values are returned for various title/artist/genre configurations. The smaller the amount of media installed on the device, the better (it's actually best to install a small set of songs filtered in itunes by title, because this will also give you some data to validate the full list/title "inexact" search against).
