Getting Music Into FireBall

GETTING MUSIC INTO FIREBALL

Before you can enjoy the many benefits of your FireBall Music Management system, you will want to get your music collection into the FireBall. The process of getting music into FireBall is called “Recording” or sometimes “Ripping”.

There are several ways to get your music into FireBall:

•Record CDs using the internal CD Drive

•Record CDs using optional external CD changers

•Record from an external source (such as a tape, LP, or other real-time source)

•Transfer Music files from your PC using a network

You may choose to use any or all of these methods at any time. Here is a brief description of a few of these methods, however you should refer to the FireBall User’s Manual for more detailed information about getting music into your FireBall.

RECORDING FROM THE INTERNAL CD

The easiest and quickest way to get music into your FireBall is to record CDs using the built-in internal CD drive. This method requires no additional equipment and is very fast, as the internal CD drive can rip audio at several times the speed of normal playback. This is known as “fast-ripping”.

Follow these steps to record using the internal CD drive:

1.Select the EJECT key on the front panel of your FireBall.

2.Insert an audio CD (label side up) into the CD tray.

3.Select the EJECT key again to close the CD tray.

4.The CD cover and track names for this CD will appear on your web pad. (If the disc is not in the FireBall’s local database, FireBall will use your Internet connection to retrieve the disc information).

5.Select the RECORD button on the right side of the web pad’s screen to display the Recording Options Menu.

6.Make sure that rip to internal hd is selected, then select the CONTINUE button.

7.The Record Select Guide will be displayed showing the current CD with checkmarks to the left of each track name.

8.Select the CONTINUE button to begin recording.

•When recording is complete, FireBall will return to the Music Guide.

•Repeat steps 1-8 for each disc in your music collection.

•Refer to the section “Setting User Preferences” for setting Recording Preferences and Disc Insert Preferences.
