Troubleshooting - Macintosh Computer - OS X System Hints and Guide
I have recorded my sounds, but nothing plays back when I activate theDMX Channel.
Check to see that you have named the audio files correctly. For example, if you only have 5-MP3 audio files
on the drive, they would be named “001.mp3” “ 002.mp3” “ 002.mp3” “ 004.mp3”
“ 004.mp3”
Check to see if your Hide File Extension display is turned ON in your computer, if so, then the files probably
have double extensions added,“001.mp3.mp3. -“ 021.mp3.mp3. The second extension is
incorrect, should be 001.mp3” to “032.mp3, Turn Hide OFF and rename the files.
Try using just the file name “001" without a period.
Check to see that the audio files you are using are not a different format, The audio file must be MP3 type.
Check your USB Flash Memory Drive to see that it has been formatted as a blank drive, before adding you
new sound files, Some USB Flash Memory Drives have a security or Auto Boot feature that prevents the
MP3 player from using the sound files correctly even when formatted. Re-format your USB Flash Memory
Drive removing any security or Auto Boot formats first. (Format USB Flash Drive as a MS-DOS FAT)
Try a different USB Flash Memory Drive type, as some manufacture brands operate different than others.
