ID-AL - My Music Player and My Music Player LE - User Guide V1.0

It is recommended to use a support storage for to optimize a no-stop functioning. We recommend to use a 
Sandisk© storage device.

In order, the storage devices that will be used as Main Media or Alternate Media must, prior to its use, be 
formatted in FAT32. Other file systems are not supported. For a large capacity storage devices (as SSD), 
only one partition is accepted.

Under Microsoft© Windows: in the file explorer, right click the drive and select 

Format…

.

Under Macintosh© MAC OS X: use the Disk Utility application of the OS.

Under Linux OS: use 

fdisk

 command line or disk utility like 

Gparted

.

Note:

 in the recent Microsoft© Windows versions, the formatting in FAT32 is limited to 32Go. This limitation 

is not based on anything concrete and previous versions of Windows are not affected by it. Third-party 
software makes it possible to format larger partitions into FAT32 (e.g. Partition Manager from Paragon 
Software©).

6.5. Files and Folders Naming Rules

In order to ensure proper operation of the player, only the 7-bit ASCII character set is allowed to name files 
and folders. This means that special characters that are not part of the following character list are not 
allowed. Also, some characters not allowed by the Microsoft conventions for file and folder names are 
excluded.
