MP3+G .zip file must be unzipped as follows:

• Connect a USB flash drive to your computer.

• Download the MP3+G file from your Digital
Locker and save the .zip* file to a folder on your
computer.

• Double click the .zip file to open the .zip (you
will see the .mp3 and .cdg files).

• Drag and drop the .mp3 and .cdg files to the
USB flash drive.

• Remove (eject) the USB flash drive from your
