MODE: Returns the current mode of the device: not ready, stopped, playing, seeking, recording, paused, or other.

READY: Returns TRUE if the device is ready.

WAIT: The command is executed synchronously. The function waits until the requested action is complete before returning to the application. The WAIT keyword must be specified in order to receive return string information.
