MTP/MSC switching
Why do I want to use MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) Mode?
MTP Mode
is essential if you want to transfer
DRM content
to your Lyra Jukebox. Today
MTP Mode is only supported in Windows XP and through Windows Media Player 10.0 or
other special software provided by your music service provider. In MTP mode you Lyra
Jukebox will no longer show up as a drive letter. So programs that were designed to
work with a device that shows up as a drive letter will not be able to work directly with
the Lyra Jukebox.
Why do I want to use MSC (Mass Storage Class) Mode?
If you are using
Windows 98SE, ME or 2000
you can not use MTP Mode only MSC
Mode is available. Your Lyra Jukebox will always show up as a MSC device.
If you are using
Windows XP
your Lyra Jukebox will show up as a
MTP
device, but we
have provide you the option to be able to switch it to
MSC Mode
with a setting in the
Advanced Options section of the Lyra Jukebox. Once this setting is set to
MSC
Mode
every time you connect the device to the PC it will show up as a drive letter and allow
you to use any software that can work with
MSC Mode
. This will also allow the current
version of LyraDJ or any other playlist editing program to find the device.
All supported content put on the device in either mode
MTP
or
MSC
will be available to
play on the device once it is disconnected from the PC. So you could add mp3 files in the
MSC Mode
then run
LyraDJ
,
Profile
the device and disconnect it. Then switch it to
MTP
Mode
and reconnect it and add
DRM
content to it.
