FIREBALL MUSIC RESTORE

You can restore music to a FireBall using the same method used for importing audio files into a FireBall. Restore and Import both use the CIFS Networking feature to add audio files to a FireBall. Simply drag your music files to the Import directory and let FireBall import the audio files.

Note: This may take several days for a large music collection!

Upon Import, FireBall will rebuild the internal database based on the music file’s ID3 tag information.

ID3 Tag Support

All MP3 and FLAC files should have the proper ID3 tags in each file in order for FireBall to properly add each music file to it’s internal Library.

The following ID3 tag formats are supported by FireBall:

•ID3v1.0

•ID3v1.1

•ID3v2.2.0

•ID3v2.3.0

Use an MP3 Tag Editor (such as iTunes) to change the ID3 tags to a supported format before importing into FireBall. If your MP3 files originated from your FireBall, they already have the proper ID tags.

Cover art will be imported into FireBall as long as the cover image is properly embedded into the ID3 tag. Again, use an MP3 Tag Editor on your computer to add cover art images to each MP3 file prior to importing. Playlists should also be imported directly to the “Import” directory.
