TRANSFERRING FILES
You can download digital music files from the internet or use encoding software to convert music that
you have on an audio CD into MP3 or WMA format. Once these files are stored on your computer you
can easily copy them to your player.
Connect the computer to your player using the supplied USB cable. The unit will restart or turn on
automatically, “Welcome” will appear briefly and then the USB icon will
appear in the display. (The player is now connected to the computer.)
Double click My Computer, the double click on the “Removable Disk” to
open the “Removable Disk” window.
To add more files and songs to your player simply drag and drop MP3 or
WMA files from anywhere on your computer into the "Removable Disk"
window. When music is stored in either of these formats, it
can contain additional information about the tracks in an
ID3Tag. The ID3Tag contains the Artist name, Album name,
song Title and/or Genre (style of music). When a file is
copied to this unit, this unit retrieves the ID3 Tag
information from the file. The unit uses this information to
index the file into the Artist, Album, Track, Genre categories
displayed on the unit. If the ID3 Tag is empty, the unit will
use the file’s file name and current directory as the Track
name and Artists name accordingly.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The WMA file with DRM will not
playback if you directly drag and drop it into the
“Removable Disk” window. See pages 15-16 for
downloading WMA files with DRM from the computer to your player.
When you are finished, see the Safely Remove Hardware procedure on the next page before
disconnecting the player.
After disconnecting the player from the computer, the player will restart again, “Welcome” followed by
“Memorex” will appear briefly and then the player will check and update the index automatically if there
are new tracks/files which were added to the player. It will take from several seconds to several
minutes to check/update the index (depending on the total files/tracks added). When it is finished, the
Main Menu will show at the display automatically.
