Notes:
• To easily access the Digital Music Library via a web browser for remote operation, we recommend creating a
bookmark or a shortcut on the home screen. On a mobile device, opening the shortcut allows you to remotely
operate the Digital Music Library in full screen.
• If the Digital Music Library’s IP address changes, you will not be able to remotely operate the Digital Music Library
through the bookmark or the home screen shortcut. In such a case, access the Digital Music Library through the
web browser via its new IP address and create the bookmark or shortcut again. To keep using the same bookmark
or shortcut, we recommend setting a static IP address for the Digital Music Library. Refer to the “Changing the IP
Address” section in chapter 3 for the procedure to configure a static IP address for the Digital Music Library.
• When you click or tap the Digital Music Library's display on the web browser, the display will be in full screen.
Click or tap the screen again to exit the full screen display.
• WebRemote will be automatically disabled once the Digital Music Library is powered off.

Chapter 2 Basic Usage
• Into One Folder: If you select this option, data will be imported into the “all” folder within the “import” folder.
With this option, only files with changes will be imported to the Digital Music Library. Files with no changes from
the previous import will not be imported.
• Into Folders by Date: If you select this option, a folder that contains the import date in the folder name will
be created within the “import” folder and all imported files will be stored in that folder. Even if the same data is
included in the USB drive, it will be copied to the Digital Music Library.
Importing from a Music CD
To import tracks from a music CD, follow the procedure below.
Note: Importing tracks from a music CD requires an optical drive (not included). Use only the compatible optical
drives listed on melco-audio.com. Depending on the manufacture date, circumstances, and specifications of a
connected optical drive, it may not work even if the optical drive is listed under our compatible devices.
1 Connect an optical drive to the N1 EX, or the USB 2.0 port on the N10/N100.
2 Insert a music CD into the optical drive to import its tracks.
3 If the USB-DAC device is connected to the Digital Music Library, the following screen will be displayed. Press
the Up/Down buttons and select “Import”, then press the Menu/Enter button.
4 When the CD is detected, the Digital Music Library will try to get the album information automatically. When
the display changes from getting the music album information, press the Menu/Enter button.
If the Digital Music Library is connected to the Internet, music tracks will be imported using the acquired
album information.
If multiple titles are found, select the appropriate album title on the displayed window. Once you have selected
the album title, you can return to the previous window and select it again by pressing the Back button. The
album title with the “ ” symbol will contain the cover art.
If the Digital Music Library is not connected to the Internet, or if the CD information is not available from the
online music database, the album name and music title information will not be acquired. In such a case, the
import date will be used as the album name and the track number as the filename.
Note: If the Digital Music Library cannot get the music album information while connected to the Internet,
check your device’s security settings or security software to make sure that the Digital Music Library has
permission to access the Internet.
5 Check the imported tracks using the Up/Down buttons and press the Menu/Enter button.
