Creating Audio Library 

The MP3-WS uses a library of audio clips.  The library can contain a single audio file or as many files as 
will fit into the roughly 8 Meg of Ram space.  

Note:

 

Creating your own library and copying it to the MP3-WS will over-write the sample library that came 

with the unit.  

To create a library, click the “

Select Audio Clips

” button. A computer browser window will open.  Navigate 

to the folder containing the audio tracks you wish to use.  The MP3-WS is capable of playing WAV or MP3 
files; however, WAV files will consume large amounts of memory very quickly. 

Select the audio file (or files) you wish to use.  To select a list of files, click the first file then hold down the 
shift key while clicking the last file.  To pick multiple files not in a row hold down the Ctrl key while selecting.  
Once all desired files are selected, press the 

Open

 button. 

 

Alternately, it is possible to 
drag and drop audio files 
from your computer directly 
onto the Audio Library grid.     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The selected files will 
appear in the grid.  The # 
column will indicate the 
number assigned to the 
clip.  The MP3-WS 
interface software keeps 
track of memory usage 
and only allows you to 
select files that will fit 
into the unit’s memory.
