BACKUP AND RESTORE

MS300 MUSIC BACKUP

It is possible to backup and restore the music contents of the MS300 using the PC ﬁle sharing feature. Backup is accomplished by mounting the MS300 onto your PC or Mac desktop and using your computer’s backup software.

You can also backup the music ﬁles to any standard media which your PC supports, such as: DVD+/-R/W, CD-R/RW, or external hard drive.

MS300 MUSIC RESTORE

You can restore music to the MS300 using the same method used for importing audio ﬁles into a MS300. Restore and Import both use the PC ﬁle sharing feature to add audio ﬁles to the MS300. Simply drag your music ﬁles to the Import directory and let the MS300 import the audio ﬁles.

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

Upon Import, the MS300 will rebuild the internal database based on the music ﬁle’s ID3 tag information.
