numbers of files (including MP3 Files) to be displayed on the
window. You may use managing functions such as moving and
copying just like you would with Windows Explorer.
You may separately manage these DMF files after putting them
in a folder using the file managing feature.

The lower part of RYW-Explorer is used to manage the flash memory and memory card inserted in Radio
YourWay™. If Radio YourWay™ is properly connected; the window will show the status of the memory
and files stored.
MP3 files transmitted will appear on the lower right of the window and the size of the file and unused
