What is MoodLogic?

MoodLogic is music mix management software. It is designed to enhance the experience
with your RipFlash. The MoodLogic Light Version is included with your MP3 Manager CD.

It is recommended that you install MoodLogic to manage your songs and create mixes. You
can then transfer your music to your RipFlash and enjoy your music on the go!

What is unique about MoodLogic?

The MoodLogic software connects to a data service that can identify your digital music files
and automatically categorize and correctly label your songs.

MoodLogic allows you to easily filter your songs based on their Genre, Artist, Tempo,
Release Year, and Mood. You can also pick your favorite song and let MoodLogic instantly
create a mix with similar songs for you! Select a song and click the Mix button to see the
MoodLogic Instant MusicMix feature in action.

Using MoodLogic, you can rediscover your MP3 collection! It is fun to create new mixes and
refresh the content of your RipFlash every day!

How to install MoodLogic from the CD

To install MoodLogic:

1) Place the MP3 Manager CD in the CD-ROM drive of your computer. The
MP3 Download Program window is displayed.

2) Click the MoodLogic button. The MoodLogic installer launches.

3) Follow the instructions in the MoodLogic installer to add your

songs to the

software. The MoodLogic Light Version connects to the data

service and

automatically categorizes 25 of your MP3 files for easy use. This

process is

called “Activation” of your music.

You must be connected to the Internet to install MoodLogic, add, and activate songs
because the MoodLogic software retrieves data from an Internet-based service.

How to create mixes and transfer songs to my RipFlash using MoodLogic Light

The MoodLogic Light Version is included with your RipFlash. You can use it to manually
create mixes and transfer songs to your device. Using the Light Version, your main view will
be the Search View in MoodLogic, as it lists all the songs you added to the software.

Manually creating playlists:

To manually create a playlist, click the New Playlist button and name the playlist. Then, go
to the Search View and find your favorite tracks. Drag the songs you like and drop them
onto your newly created playlist.

Transferring songs and mixes to your RipFlash:

You have two options to transfer your music to your RipFlash:

1) Direct transfer from within MoodLogic: Click the MP3 Player view in

MoodLogic and follow the instructions on the screen to download the
MoodLogic PoGo! RipFlash plug-in.

2) Using the RipFlash MP3 Manager software: Start the MP3 Manager
software and drag and drop your songs and mixes from MoodLogic to the MP3
Manager. Use the MP3 Manager to transfer the songs to the RipFlash.

Using MoodLogic Light with your RipFlash is easy! Manually create your mixes and transfer
them to your device. Read on to learn more about how to supercharge your RipFlash using
the full version of MoodLogic.

What are the features available in the full version of MoodLogic?

The MoodLogic Light Version activates 25 of your songs for more advanced browsing by
Genre, Artist, Tempo, Release Year, and Mood. The full version allows you to activate up to
10,000 songs! Go to the My Active Music View to get a taste of the full version, see your
songs cleaned up and organized, and experiment with the Genre, Artist, Tempo, Release
Year, and Mood filters.

The following pages explain the features of the full version and how to fully use MoodLogic
with your RipFlash. You can upgrade to the full version by clicking “Buy” in the Activation
Center.

Creating an Instant MusicMix:

The easiest way to create a mix in MoodLogic is to use the Instant MusicMix feature.
Simply go to My Active Music, select a song that you like, and click the Mix button on the
bottom right corner in MoodLogic.

MoodLogic creates an Instant MusicMix for you, by scanning your collection and showing
songs that are similar to your selected song. The more music you have, the more songs
you will “rediscover” using the MoodLogic Instant MusicMix!

Move the Genre Variety and Mood Variety to increase or decrease the number of songs in
the Instant MusicMix. You can save the playlist for later use, change the sequence of the
songs, and delete tracks from your Instant MusicMix.

Refresh your RipFlash in three easy steps. 1. Find your favorite track. 2. Create an Instant
MusicMix. 3. Transfer to device.

Using My Active Music filters:

In My Active Music, you can use MoodLogic filters to locate songs of a particular genre or
by a particular artist, as well as by Tempo, Release Year, and Mood. These filters help you
find your “mellow jazz songs of the ‘70s” for your commute or your “fast, aggressive, rock
songs” for your workout.

Playlist splitting:

Using the full version of MoodLogic, you can split your playlists into various sizes to fit your
RipFlash storage capacity. This option is available from your Instant MusicMix View, from
all saved playlists, and the Search View.

Select the appropriate duration of your playlist in megabytes and use the right-click menu
options to select a certain segment and transfer it to your RipFlash.

How to add and activate new songs

To add songs to MoodLogic, click Add Music in the Activation Center. Whenever you add
songs to your computer, you should add them to MoodLogic.

To activate songs (identify the songs in your collection and allow them to be filtered in My
Active Music), click Activate Music in the Activation Center.

How to activate songs that are ripped using the RipFlash recording feature

You can use RipFlash to rip CDs directly from your CD player without the need of a
computer (refer to the RipFlash manual for more information). These tracks will not have
correct artist and song information.

Using the full version of MoodLogic, you can connect to the MoodLogic data service and
automatically organize and label these tracks and add them to your growing MP3 collection

First, copy the ripped songs onto your computer and add these files to MoodLogic.

If you installed the PoGo! RipFlash plug-in from MoodLogic, you can copy these songs

to your computer from your MoodLogic MP3 player view. Select the songs you want
to copy and use the Copy from device right-click menu option.

If you did not install the PoGo! RipFlash plug-in, use your MP3 Manager software to
upload your songs to your computer.

Then, use the MoodLogic Activation Center to Add Music and Activate your songs.

Using the combination of MoodLogic and your RipFlash you can start growing a fully
organized music collection. Simply rip songs into your RipFlash and let MoodLogic
automatically identify them and add them to your Active Music collection.
