 11.3  Transferring your CD collection to the AV 700 

 11.3  Transferring your CD collection to the AV 700 

 The process of transferring music from a CD into music 

fi

 les for your AV 700 is known 

as ‘ripping’. It is actually a re-encoding process, taking the CDA (CD Audio) format and 
converting it to WMA or MP3 format which the AV 700 can read. There are many music 
ripping programs on the market, but ARCHOS

 recommends that you use Windows 

Media

®

 Player to do it. In fact, when you place a music CD in your computer, Windows

®

 

will ask you if you would like to rip it. Depending on the power of your computer, to 
rip a 60 minute CD, it will take anywhere from 10 minutes to 60 minutes. Once this is 
done, the album will become part of your music library. Connect your AV 700 to your 
computer with the supplied USB cable. Now, you go to the Sync tab and tell Windows 
Media

®

 Player to synchronize that album to your AV 700. It will then transfer that album 

to your AV 700. 

 Note: Some music CDs have a special copy protection system that will not allow 
Windows Media

®

 Player to make music 

fi

 les from them.
