Using other methods may cause the files to be unplayable.Windows 2000: DRM files should be transferred via Windows Media Player 9.Windows XP: Transfer DRM files via Windows Media Player10 or 11.Windows Vista: The current Media Player is Windows Media Player 11.

These instructions are for use with WMP 10. Other versions behave similarly.First download the file from the website. Ensure you have downloaded the license according to the instructions on the sup-plying website. If not, when you try to download the file to your player, WMP a message will appear in the operating window asking you to download the license from the music publisher.

When the player is connected to the PC these folders and the three “hidden” files are created. Use the correct folder when uploading files. If you accidentally delete a folder, the player will re-create it when you next connect it to the PC.

Transferring Other Files

�0The Music LibraryThe player sorts music into categories using ID3 tags. ID3 tags are electronic tags embedded by the music producer in the recording and contain information such as song and album title, artist, production date and much more. This is the information the player sorts when it boots up. As long as the ID3 tags are present, you can rename a file or sort it into folders but the player will always be able to identify the music by the original tag. If ID3 tags are not present, the player will group the music files into an “anonymous” section

�1Deleting and Renaming Files

Notes on Renaming Files• Music Files: Music files are identified by the player based on ID3 tags. Whether these are uploaded to the player as single files or in folders, or have been renamed by the user, the player ignores all these. See Page 20 for full information.• Radio and Microphone recordings: The player names all files consecutively in the order they were recorded. There is no renaming function in the player. So if, for example, you delete F004 from the FM folder the player will not rename the files but leave a gap. You can rename a voice or microphone recording and the player will detect the new name. We strongly suggest you rename recordings you wish to keep.

Ver 2 .620.007
