SUPPORTED MUSIC FILE FORMATS
OAKLEY THUMP supports multiple file formats. MP3 and WMA are more compressed than WAV
file formats, so using them will allow you to fit more songs in the internal memory.
• MP3 (up to 320 kbps)
• MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)
• WMA
Note about WMA DRM: If you purchased your music from an online source that provides files
formatted with WMA DRM (Windows Media digital rights management), please go to the
Oakley Web site at www.oakley.com/thump and download the free THUMP-enabled DRM
firmware that allows you to listen to WMA DRM music files. If you don’t download the DRM-
enabled firmware from Oakley, THUMP will not be able to play back the protected song files.
• WAV
TRANSFERRING MUSIC FROM CDS
To transfer songs from a music CD to OAKLEY THUMP, you must first convert the CD music into
one of the supported file formats. If you have a CD burner, the software included with the burner
may have this ability. Otherwise, there are many music-playing programs that also convert files.
Check the Internet for these free third-party programs. One or more might already be installed on
your computer. Look in your computer menu for a media program that plays CDs, then select Help
from the menu and look for “file conversion,” “MP3,” “WMA” or “rip.” Once the files are
converted, use the directions above to transfer them to OAKLEY THUMP.
