2.8. Connection to a computer and backing up data

You can listen to a book or music by saving the according data on your Milestone‘s SD 
memory card. Use the provided USB cable to connect your Milestone 212 Ace to your 
computer, as described in chapter 1.2.3. „USB-connection to a computer“. If an SD card is 
plugged into the Milestone, your computer will recognize it as an external drive.
Copy your books, music and text-files to the Milestone‘s SD card, by dragging and 
dropping them into the designated folders on the SD card. Once you‘re done, please make 
sure that you remove your Milestone 212 Ace safely from your computer, as you would do 
with any external drive.

2.8.1. Copying a book to the SD memory card

In order for books to become available for playback on your portable device, please copy 
all the according files to the SD card of your Milestone 212 Ace. It is recommended to save 
each book in a separate folder on the SD card, for better organization. You can save your 
books wherever you like, determine your own folder structure and use sub-folders. 

2.8.2. Copying Audio content to the SD memory card

You can listen to music and text-files by selecting the Milestone‘s „Audio“ application.
To make your files actually show up under „Audio“, so you can play them, copy the 
according files to your SD memory card. You can use your individual folder structure to 
keep things organized and to best suit your personal preference. The supported formats 
are MP3, AAC, WMA, M4A, MP4, M4V, WAV, as well as TXT and DOC. Commercially 
available music CDs will have to be converted into either MP3, AAC, WMA or WAV, before 
copying them to your Milestone 212 Ace. With programs like CDex, Windows Media Player 
or iTunes, you can rip music CDs onto your computer, in order to listen to them on your 
Milestone.

Hint:

 In order to stay well organized, you can think of folders as drawers and sub-folders 

as drawer compartments. You can create folders on your computer, to save and organize 
your data. Your Milestone 212 Ace will always announce folder names, to help you 
navigating through your folder structure.
