B. Storing Music Files onto the MP3 player
There are two transfer modes when synchronizing
music to the MP3 player: MSC (Mass Storage Class)
and MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). This will vary
among the different operating systems.
You will need to use MTP mode to transfer DRM
protected WMA files. Your computer will need
Windows XP SP2 with Windows Media Player 10
installed. The SD/MMC card must NOT be inserted
into the MP3 player when connecting to the
computer. When the player is connected to the
computer via USB cable, the player will appear on
your computer as an MTP player (see diagram below).
If your computer’s operating system is not Windows
XP SP2 or an SD/MMC card is inserted into the player,
the transfer mode will be MSC when you connect the
MP3 player to the computer. The MP3 player (and the
SD/MMC card, if installed) will be added under “My
Computer” as “Removable Disk”. You will NOT be able
to synchronize WMA files to your MP3 player. (NOTE:
Files downloaded from WAL-MART Music Downloads
are DRM encrypted. They must be synchronized using
MTP mode. They cannot be dragged and dropped or
copied into the MP3 player.)
1.Copying songs to the player or deleting songs
from the player.
Click the “My Computer” icon from the Windows
Desktop screen, the MP3 player will be added to
your computer as a removable disk or an MTP
player. When the SD/MMC card is installed, two
“Removable Disk” icons are added to your computer.
The first is the flash memory, the second is the SD/
MMC card. Drag and drop (or copy and paste) music
files to the player or delete the files by using common
Windows operation or file manager.

Removable Disk
When you have finished copying the files, in MSC
transfer mode, see page 4 to safely disconnect the
player. In MTP mode, disconnect the MP3 player
from the computer directly.
NOTE 1: If you cannot download music from the
web site to the MP3 player directly, please download
the music to the computer and then copy the music
to the MP3 player.
NOTE 2: This player can also be used as a removable
drive (also known as a USB flash drive). You can drag
and drop files into the player, if the transfer mode is
MTP, and the files you want to store are not music
files, please drag and drop them to the “Data” folder.
(Up to the limit of about 1GB for internal memory or
the capacity of the installed SD/MMC card.)
NOTE 3: If you are unable to transfer files to the SD/
MMC card and you are certain there’s available space,
try copying the files to a folder instead of the root
directory.
2.Synchronizing DRM encrypted WMA music to
the MP3 player.
The WMA music file with DRM encryption will not
play if you drag and drop them to the player, because
the license will not be moved, you must synchronize
them to the player using Windows Media Player 10.
To perform sync operation, the transfer mode must be
MTP. The operating system of your computer must be
Windows XP (SP2), and you must install “Windows
Media Player 10” on your computer. The SD/MMC
card must be removed from the MP3 player before
you connect the MP3 player to the computer.
If the transfer mode is MSC, the WMA music files
with DRM 10 encryption will not play even if you have
synchronized it onto the MP3 player.
a.Run “Windows Media Player 10”.
b.Select “Sync” function.
c.Click “My Computer” icon from the
windows desktop.
d.Locate the folder on your computer where your
music files are stored.
e.Select the files you want to transfer to the MP3
player, drag and drop them to the Windows Media
Player 10 left “Sync list” window.
f.Select “MP3 Audio Player” on the right column.
NOTE: Don’t select the SD/MMC card or any
removable device, the tracks with DRM 10
protection will not be played if they are
synchronized into the SD/MMC card or the
removable device.
g.Click “Start sync” icon to start the sync operation.
h.You can check on the transferred files in the
right window by clicking on the + icon next to

encrypted music you synchronized.
