Artist. If desired, the rest of the information (called properties) is best viewed from the
PC on which the MP3 or WMA file resides.

Since MP3s and WMAs may not be equipped with ID3 information, the display will be
missing certain data. At worst, the track will be identified only with its filename, and
any other field will be blank.

Organizing MP3 and WMA Music on Your PC

People who store MP3s and WMAs on their PCs usually place their songs into folders
so that their music may be organized in a preferred manner, either according to a

artist, or a particular album, by year, or by playlists (groups of favorite songs that seem
to work well together).

There are many software programs available, which permit easy organization of your
music files. Even without the benefit of such software, both Windows Explorer (not
Internet Explorer) and Windows Media Player offer a detailed view of the relationship
between the folders that hold your music, and the music files you wish to place within
them.

When you transfer musical tracks to the JX-MP256FM, you can keep the same folder
and file structure intact, and enjoy the same convenience and organization provided by
your PC.

arise, and that abuses would take place. According to existing copyright law,
purchased media products like music CDs or movies on DVD can only be copied for
backup purposes, but whose content cannot be exchanged over the Internet, or in any
other manner, without the permission and/or due compensation paid to its author(s) or
creator(s). These points are summarized below:

Digital Ethics

In the United States, you CAN generally make copies of any music you buy

if your copy is a backup of the original and intended for your own private use

if you wish to change its format (e.g. to MP3 or WMA), and then download it to a

portable music player (e.g. your JX-MP256FM)

to change the order of the songs on the original version, and then copy the result to
recordable media (e.g. a CD-R/RW disc or a cassette tape) for your own private use

to make a compilation of your favorite songs for your own private use

You can also lend the original recording to a friend, who can listen to it but who
CANNOT make copies for his/her personal use, or for distribution or sale to anyone
else.
