The OM205 Media Player works as an external hard drive or storage device via
the USB port on your computer. Windows XP and Vista users will find the
moment they connect the player via the USB cable, the computer recognises a
new device and following a few steps the OM205 is installed.
Unlike other media players, the OM205 will not limit how you interact with the
device by insisting on specific software to communicate with the player when it
is connected to the computer.
The OM205 easily interfaces with your operating system, allowing you to " drag
and drop" your pre-existing music and video collection into its folder. Just like a
USB memory stick or an external hard drive, once the data has been placed in
the OM205 folder, the player can be disconnected from the USB port and your
portable music, video and file experience begins.
