Before you start

SD-Jukebox Features

SD-JukeboxV2.4 is a software program that lets you write recorded tracks to an
SD Memory Card. SD-JukeboxV2.4 also lets you record music data from music
CDs to your computer's hard disk drive.
You can play an SD Memory Card by inserting it in the SD Audio Player
(Technics Electronic keyboard). Tracks recorded to an SD Memory Card from a
music CD using the SD Audio Player (Technics Electronic keyboard) can also be
transferred to your PC.

Other features:

• Edit titles, track order, and other information on your PC, and play tracks on

your PC.

• Convert MP3, WAV, and WMA files on your PC's hard disk drive and write

them onto an SD Memory Card.

• In cases where music information is registered at the CDDB site, information

such as album titles can be downloaded just by playing a music CD.

Transferring data between a PC and SD Memory Card

Check out refers to the process of writing tracks recorded on a PC (compressed
music data) to an SD Memory Card. Check in refers to the process of moving
tracks back to the PC from an SD Memory Card.
Check out and check in cannot be done an unlimited number of times.Limits
such as the following apply in order to protect copyrights.

• A track recorded to a PC can be checked out to an SD Memory Card a

maximum of three times.
Therefore, on the <Check out to SD>, only the tracks that have at least one
remaining check out are displayed from the list of all recorded tracks (the PC's
default playlist).
Tracks that have been checked out three times are not displayed.

• When you delete a track from the SD Memory Card's default playlist, the track
is checked in to the PC.

When you check in a track, you increase the check out count for that track on
the PC.
You cannot check in music data that has been deleted from the PC's default
playlist.
