TRANSfERRING YoUR Cd CoLLECTIoN To YoUR ARCHoS
You can easily create music files with your computer by using Windows Media® Player
10 or higher to convert your CDs to a playable format for your ARCHOS:
Place a music CD in your computer, and Windows® will ask you what action you
would like to perform.
Choose
Rip music from CD
, and Windows Media® Player will start ripping the
CD. The songs will be automatically extracted from the CD and encoded into the
MP3 or WMA format, according to what you chose in Windows Media® Player’s
ripping options. The default format is WMA.
Once this is done, the album will become part of
your Music Library.
See
Transferring Files to learn how to transfer the
ripped music files onto the ARCHOS
.
See your Windows Media® Player help instructions for more
information.
Check the laws and regulations in your country
or jurisdiction to know if private copying of your
CDs for your own use is authorized.
Some music CDs have a special copy protection
system that will not allow Windows Media
®
Player
to make music files from them.

2.6 PlayIng yOur PC’s shared MusIC (uPnP)
When connected to your home WiFi network, your ARCHOS gives you
the possibility to play, directly on your device, shared music stored in
your PC’s Windows Media® Library.
•
For this to work, you will need a WiFi connection and Windows Media® Player 11
or higher* installed on your PC.
The ARCHOS uses the UPnP (Universal Plug-and-play) standard to stream shared
music from your PC’s Windows Media® Library.
See:
Playing your PC’s Shared Media Files (UPnP).
* There are other products (software) on the market that also can share media
files using the UPnP standard.
