Downloading files
We recommend the default setting MSC player (removable disc).
Copy the music files directly into the main folder or synchronise music in a
»Music« folder using Windows Media Player.
Data (such as pdf, ppt, doc files) should be copied directly into the main folder
or into a folder created separately.
In MSC mode, copied or synchronised music files are not displayed in Windows
Media Player in MTP mode.
Basic settings for MTP players
Downloading files
Synchronise the music files on the player using Windows Media Player. These are
copied into the »MTP-Media/Music« folder.

Connecting to a computer
1 Switch on the computer.
2 Switch off the player.
3 Connect the USB socket on the player to the USB socket on the computer
using the USB cable.
– A display appears as soon as the connection is made.
Note:
The player usually appears on the computer as a removable disc. However,
in Windows XP you have the option of registering the player as an MTPcapable media player. To do this, briefly press »
s
II«. If the player is
recognised as an MTP-capable media player, the content of its flash memory
will be displayed differently. This provides other editing options for the data.
MP3/WMA data transfers

2 Highlight the files.
3 Right-click the mouse and select »Copy«.
4 Open a removable disk drive (e.g. H:) on your computer.

Notes:
If you wish to create LRC files, use a program such as the freely-available
Song Edit program.
Make sure that the text and music files are in the same folder and that their
names correspond to each other. If not, then the player cannot recognise the
text file.
