Digital audio players provide many benefits:
Solid state (no skipping)
CD quality sound
Portability (small and lightweight)
Compatibility with the Internet
The ability to take your favorite music with
you anywhere!

Copying CDs
The RioPort Audio Manager software enables you to copy audio files from your personal CD collection. You should not, however, use this software to distribute songs to your friends. It is illegal to distribute audio files without permission from the copyright holder.
This product and software are designed to help you reproduce materials for which you own the copyright or have obtained copy permission from the owner. If you purchase a CD, you do have the right to make copies of the songs to use on your PC or on your Player.

A message asks if you would like to get the track titles and additional song information from the Internet*. This only takes a moment, but you must be connected to the Internet.

*If you do not get the track titles prior to copying the songs, you can add them later, but the titles cannot be retrieved from the Internet. You must enter the titles manually.
