Choosing the correct USB mode for
your player
Your Insignia player supports two USB modes: Media
Manager mode and File & Folder mode. You can choose
which mode you want to use depending on how you use
your player. In Windows XP, we recommend that you use
Media Manager mode, because it is fully supported by
nearly all music management software. For other
operating systems, such as Windows 2000, or for users
who would rather use their MP3 player like a flash drive,
File & Folder mode should be selected. This will make
the player look like another drive letter on your
Computer
folders to the drive. You can switch modes any time, but
we recommend that you erase all content and copy it
from your hard drive again when switching modes (see
“Copying music files to your player” on page 30). For
instructions on switching modes, see “Selecting the USB
mode” on page 49.

Maintaining your digital music
player
Care and cleaning
• Periodically clean your player by using a
washcloth dampened only with water, or
lens-cleaning papers dampened with water or
isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.
• Do not get the player wet.
• Keep your player away from hot environments,
such as on top of a vehicle dashboard, a window
sill, or a heat register.
• Avoid carrying your player in a pocket that
contains metallic items, which can scratch and
damage the player.
• Avoid carrying your player in a pocket or
compartment that is dirty. Dirt, dust, and lint can
damage the player.
• As much as possible, keep your player in its
protective carrying case.
• Update the firmware occasionally to make sure
that you have the latest version and product
features.
Updating the firmware
To update the firmware:
On the Internet, connect your Web browser to
1
www.insignia-products.com, then search for the
music player firmware update.
2 Follow the online instructions to download the
updated firmware files. Take note of where the file is
saved to.
www.insignia-products.com

08-1299 NS-2A10S.fm Page 52 Thursday, June 5, 2008 1:47 PM
3 Double-click the file you saved in Step 2, then follow
the on-screen instructions to complete the upgrade.
4 When the file finishes copying, unplug the player
from the USB port on your computer (see
“Disconnecting the player (Windows)” on page 37).
The player automatically detects and installs the new
firmware.
Caution
Installing new firmware will automatically deletes
all content from the player.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
How do I copy files to the player?
In File & Folder (MSC) mode, you can copy files to the
player the same way you copy files to a hard drive or
flash memory drive. In Media Manager (MTP) mode, you
can use BBDMS, Windows Media Player, or other digital
music managers to transfer files to your player. For more
information, see “Copying music files to your player” on
page 30 and “Selecting the USB mode” on page 49.
Which file formats does the player
support?
This player supports MP3, WMA, secure WMA, and
Audible audio formats. Any other formats must be
converted to a supported format before being copied to
your player.

What is MTP?
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP, or Media Manager mode)
is a protocol for connecting portable devices to a
Windows XP computer and synchronizing digital media
content between those devices.
When I copy files to the player using
Windows Explorer, what folder should I
copy them to?
In Media Manager (MTP) mode, copy them to the Media
folder on the player. In File & Folder (MSC) mode, you
can copy them to the root directory.
Some of my music files are on my player
but cannot be played. When I select them,
a different song begins to play. What is
wrong?
You may not have purchased the rights to play the song
on an additional device. To test this, try to play a song
that you have copied from an older CD and converted to
MP3 format. If you can play that song but not the song
that doesn't play, then you need to purchase the rights to
play the song.
Why should I update the firmware?
You should always update the player to the latest
firmware to make sure that it works correctly and has the
latest features. For more information, see “Updating the
firmware” on page 51.

08-1299 NS-2A10S.fm Page 54 Thursday, June 5, 2008 1:47 PM
NS-2A10s
How do I copy a CD to my player?
First you must rip the CD using a digital music manager
like Best Buy Digital Music Store or Windows Media
Player. After the songs are on your computer, copy the
songs to the player using Windows Explorer or a digital
music manager. For more information, see “Copying
music files to your player” on page 30.
Why does my player display a message
that says “Unknown artist/album”?
This message usually appears when the music file does
not contain artist or album information (incomplete ID3
tags). See the documentation or online help of your
digital music manager for instructions on adding that
information to your music files.
