can probably also convert and import into other formats.
Please confirm that your software is set to import tracks in
MP3 format.
Procedures to copy tracks from a computer
1 Connect the MP-GT1 and the computer. (See
“Connecting to a computer” above.)
2 Click on the “MP-GT1” drive icon on the
computer to open it. There are two folders inside:
UTILITY and MUSIC.
3 Drag and drop MP3 files from the computer into
the MUSIC folder. The MP3 files appear in the
MUSIC folder when copying to the MP-GT1’s
memory is complete.
4 When finished copying files, from the computer,
follow the procedures for your computer
operating system to disconnect the MP-GT1, and
then disconnect the USB cable. The MP-GT1
automatically restarts.
TIP
• You can create subfolders inside the MUSIC folder. Two
levels of subfolders can be used. By setting the unit to play
tracks only in a selected folder, you can categorize tracks
or create folders for different users, for example. (See
“Setting the play area” on page 15.)
• Give names to the sub folders and tracks as you wish
them to appear on the MP-GT1 screen. (MP3s with ID3
tags will have Title information shown instead of file
names.)
• Subfolders and tracks 3 or more levels below will not
appear on the MP-GT1 and cannot be used with the unit.
