IMPORTING MUSIC FILES

If you have digital audio files already recorded on your PC or Mac, you can transfer the files directly to your FireBall using an Ethernet network. This

is a fast and convenient way to load up your FireBall with your favorite Music without having to re-record everything.

FireBall will import each audio file, extract the song information, and add it to your Music Library.

There are some rules to follow to make sure your files are transferred correctly. Please make sure your audio files follow these guidelines before

importing them into your FireBall.

ethernet network as the FireBall

160k, 192k, 320k, or VBR encoding.

• WMA files (48-192k CBR and up to 215k

VBR)

• WAV files (automatically converted to

FLAC or MP3 based on the Recording Preferences)

• ID3 tags are supported for AAC, MP3, and FLAC audio files.

Cover Art Image Requirements

• JPEG image format

• No larger than 200 pixels wide by 200 pixels high

• No larger than 30K in size

• The cover art file must be embedded in the AAC, MP3, or FLAC file using ID3v2 tags.
