original Music Center Getting
Started Guide.

Erase All Text

Push the Play button to erase all the text in a field.

Quick Jump

When viewing the music guide, you can quickly jump
to a CD or song title by using the number pad. For

example, the 5 button is used for the letters J, K, and L.
Press the 5 button once to jump to the first CD or song that
starts with J. Quickly press it again to jump to the first CD or
song that starts with K, and again to jump to L.

All of the number keys can be used to jump to the letters
stenciled above them. To jump to songs that start with B,
press the 1 (ABC) button twice. It is a quick and easy way to
navigate your CD collection without scrolling through long
lists.

Repeat Mode button to select or unselect all the songs

on the CD.

What’s New in Home Networking?

Networking

Did you know ...

AOL, Compuserve, and free
internet services use a
proprietary method of Internet
connectivity and are not
compatible with your iPAQ
Music Center.

The Music Center now supports many new networking
devices. This includes several new USB-to-Ethernet adapters,
Ethernet routers and bridges, and HPNA options.

For a list of supported networking devices, see “Accessories”
on page 2-6.

For additional instructions on using the Music Center with
your Ethernet or HPNA home network, see “Home
Networking” on page 3-1.

Managing Music Content from your PC

If you have a home network, you can manage your Music
Center from another PC on the network. Once you have
installed the Music Center Media Manager software, you can
copy songs between the Music Center and your PC, create
and edit playlists, edit song titles, change album artwork,
and more.

For more information about the Media Manager, see “Using
Media Manager” on page 6-2.

IPAQ MUSIC CENTER—ADDENDUM AWHAT’S NEW IN VERSION 1.2 2-3

CD Changers

Tip

You can use the Music Center
to control and play all the CDs
in your CD Changer...you
don’t have to rip them to the
Music Center to play them.

With an Internet connection,
the Music Center can look up
all of your CDs, providing you
with a Guide for your CD
changer!

What’s New in CD Changers?

High-capacity CD changers can now be attached to the
Music Center.

CD Lookup

The Music Center can look up all of the CDs in your CD
Changer. You’ll have access to album art and song lists for all
your CDs, plus the ability to play the CDs using the Music
Center interface, create play lists, and more.

To learn more about using CD Changers with the Music
Center, see “Using a CD Changer” on page 4-1.

Recording

If you have several CDs to record, use your CD Changer to rip
an entire batch of CDs to your Music Center.

For more information about recording, see “Recording” on
page 5-3.
