USB CONNECTIONS
In general, USB-MSC mode enjoys wider compatibility with different computers and operating
systems, while USB-MTP mode enables advanced features (e.g., playlist synchronization), but
requires Windows XP SP1 and Windows Media Player 10 or newer.
You may set the MP-C945 to always use MSC mode or to auto-detect the connection
under Setup > Connections (refer to the Setup section for more information).
To transfer and synchronize encrypted WMDRM10 les, USB-MTP mode (in conjunction with
Windows XP and Windows Media Player 10) is required. Most online music stores and sub-
scription services use WMDRM10 les*. Please refer to the documentation of either Microsoft
or the store from which you purchased your music for more information and support.
WMDRM9 may be used for music purchases, only. WMDRM10 is necessary for subscription-
based services.

content owners may ask Microsoft to revoke the software’s ability to use WMDRM to play or

load licenses for protected content, you agree that Microsoft may include a revocation list with
the licenses. Content owners may require you to upgrade WMDRM to access their content.
If you decline an upgrade, you will not be able to access content that requires the upgrade.

Napster To Go, URGE, Virgin Digital, and Y! Music (Yahoo! Music).

ognize your player automatically when connected.

mini-CD in the center, recessed well of the drive tray.
Navigate to MY COMPUTER and double-click on the CD/DVD drive icon (usually “D:”).
Double-click on the folder “Win98 USB Drivers” and then on the folder “english”.
Double-click on the SETUP icon (SETUP.EXE) to start the USB driver installation program.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation and then restart your computer.
Note:
Mini-CDs should only be used in normal tray-loading CD/DVD drives. Mini-CDs may be used in
slot-loading drives with the proper adapter; please contact your computer or drive manufacturer
for more information.
