2- Software Installation

2-1. Basic System Requirements

Intel Pentium II 300 MHz or above 128MB RAM(minimum) 150MB free space in hard drive USB port CD-ROM drive Operating Systems Supported: Windows 98SE/ Me/2000/XP or Mac OS X 10.2.6 or above.

TRANSFER MODES

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.

MTP MODE

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. There are two folders listed in the MTP player, the “Media” folder and the “Data” folder.

Store only music files in the Media folder. You can store pictures and other data files in the “Data” folder.

MSC MODE

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 can store any files, photos or non-encrypted music into the MP3 player or the card. You can use this as a portable drive or for playing songs from the card. However 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.)

NOTE: For Windows Me/2000/XP users, no software installation is needed. The set is fully plug and play. For older computers running on Windows 98SE, you will need to install drivers from the supplied disc.
