MUSIC FLASH CARD
Music Plays Randomly
Because of the large volumes of Music that will normally be used, BMS2
uses MUSIC SUB-FOLDERS on the MUSIC FLASH CARD. Each Sub-
Folders can have a
MAX of 250 SONGS
contained within it. Up to 250 Sub-
Folders can be stored on the MUSIC FLASH CARD.
As BMS-2 will only play Encrypted MP3 Files, all MP3 based Music Files
must be ENCRYPTED first with our Encryption program.
The Encryption facility incorporated in our BMS Dealer Control program will
allow you to automatically encrypt a complete folder of Music at one time.
Our BMS Dealer Control Program will then allow you to TRANSFER complete
folders onto your SD card, one at a time.
On power up, ALL SONGS are played from the first folder on a completely
RANDOM basis, until the last file has played. Once all Music file in the first
sub-folder are played, BMS2 will then begin playing Music files from the
second sub-Folder until all files have played before moving to the next Music
Sub-Folder.
The First folder is the first folder transferred to the Music Flash Card. The
Second folder is the second folder transferred to the Music Flash Card. The
Third folder is the third folder transferred etc, etc. Once the last song in the
last Music Folder has finished, BMS2 will then move back to the first created
Folder and then cycle on again as above. If power is removed or lost or
either SD Flash Card is removed, BMS2 will RESTART from the first folder.
The use of Folders presents a perfect opportunity to arrange your Music
into separate GENRE groups.
With our Model BMS2/T (Time Programmed Music and Message Play)
device, you can also program individual Music Folders to play during a
specific time period (within a single day), or for specific days of the week or
for a specified period (using a start date and stop date).
You can also use this option to START and STOP play to coincide with
business hours. See page 14 for further information.
