Pressroom Radio now has two albums by Robby V and The Paperboys: Sans Serif adds seven tracks alongside the eight original tracks on The Fine Print, Vol. 1. Browse album covers and track lists with buttons, keyboard or touch. Browsing another album leaves your current music playing. Previous, next, shuffle and track endings stay within the album you're playing. After you start music, use the compact player beside Pet Bob for Previous, Play/Pause, Next and Browse albums. Pressroom Radio has a wood-and-brass record drawer and a persistent Now Playing strip, so you can see the current song while browsing. Opening the album drawer keeps Bob and the newsroom visible, even at the smallest Full Desk window size. Music continues as you switch between Full Desk, Mini Companion, Pet Bob and the tray. A fresh launch starts paused. Your current queue, collected prints, save progress, music preferences and favorites carry forward. This update adds no new reading rewards.
