Copying Files
For data storage, the MP3 Audio Machine provides a socket for installing removable
Compact Flash Card (PCMCIA) media, either Compact Flash Card. The Compact
Flash Cards must be ATA compliant (typically denoted by “ATA” being printed on
the card).
Here is a general list of steps you can follow if you’re feeling lost:
•
Get a computer or laptop that has a Compact Flash Card socket, or install
one yourself. Also available from your local Compact Flash distributor are
converters from Compact Flash to PC-Cards, making it possible to use a PC
card socket on a PC or laptop. And lastly, there are USB Compact Flash
card readers available for PCs with USB ports.
•
If your unit came with a Compact Flash Card, remove it from the unit
(Power off the unit. Remove the front panel’s metal plate, and look inside. If
one is in there, push the square ejector button to get it out.) Else, you’ll need
to buy one, so look online or at your local camera shop for starters.
•
Stick the Compact Flash card into the PC’s socket, and look for the drive
letter Windows has assigned to your Compact Flash Card drive. The
computer sees it as an extra drive, like “F:” for this example.
•
Open a DOS shell (yes, while you are still in Windows). You need to use
DOS, because DOS uses the same naming convention as the MP3 Audio
Machine, but Windows does not. Change directories to the directory where
your files are located. Press Enter after all these commands. For example:
C:\
cd show1\audio
•
Enter something like “dir” on the command line to see your list of files.
C:\show1\audio\
dir
•
To format your card, type:
C:\show1\audio\
format F:
•
If you want to copy all the sound files to the Compact Flash Card and only
play list #13 (assuming you have these in the directory), enter the following:
C:\show1\audio\
copy *.MP3 F:\
C:\show1\audio\
copy PLY00013.LST F:\
•
If you like, list the files in the Compact Flash Card to make sure everything
copied correctly.
C:\show1\audio\
dir F:\
•
Remove the card from your PC, and place it in the MP3 Audio Machine.
Turn on the unit, and wait for the green LED to go out. Press the test button
to play the lowest numbered file. If it plays, you did everything correctly. If
not, check the trouble shooting section for potential problems.
