There are eight total quick launch icons. Seven are displayed at a time. From left to right are the icons:
Browser, Market, Settings, Local Media, Music, Pictures and Games. Off screen is the App draw Icon, which will be covered later in this manual.

LOCAL MEDIA/MUSIC/PICTURES/GAMES
The quick launch icons will take you to a customizable page that allows you to add and remove any App of your preference. That will allow you to add the appropriate apps that correspond with that option. For example in the Local media page, you can add all your media player apps and UPNP players as well. Each option:
Local Media, Music, Pictures, Browser and Games will take you to a page similar to the one below.
*TIP customizing these pages helps organize your Apps into easy to search categories. After a while the app draw can become overwhelming with too many apps.

media player apps here for quick organized apps for music or videos.
