Notice the vertical scroll bar on the left of the screen. This indicates that there are more files at

 

this level. Use the Up and Down buttons to see the files.

 

**Although the Ondio will store any type of file, only the files with extentions.mp3,.m3u,.txt and

 

folders will be displayed on the screen.

4.1How to Navigate the file structure

Notice carefully the directory level on the top of the screen in the example above. This tells you at what depth you are in the file system. When you turn on the Ondio, you are at the root level, level 0. From there, each time you enter a folder (Click Right button to enter a folder), you go down one level. This indicator gives you a sense of how deep in the file system hierarchy you are. To go back up one level, you will click on the left button . If, for example, you are at level 02, then you should click on the Left button two times to return to the root level of the file system.

4.2How to Recognize file types

The Browser mode allows you to view all your MP3 files. The Ondio will store any type of file (think of it as a 128MB hard drive). However, when you go into the Browser Mode, you will only see the files with the extensions.mp3 (music), .m3u (Playlist), and .txt (text file). As shown in the screen above, each of these recognized file types has its specific icon type.

4.3How to Display file information

If you would like to view information about an MP3 file, you must first play it. While it is playing or is paused, you can hold down the Mode

button which will bring you to a Question screen. Scroll down using the Down button to the option File info. When you execute this option, you will see information about the file such as bit rate, sample resolution, size, and file name.

4.4How to Delete a file or folder

While in the browser mode, navigate to the file you want to delete. Once highlighted, hold down on the Mode button until the question screen appears. You can then scroll down (using the down button) to the delete option. Click on the right button to make the delete happen. You will then be asked to validate your response.
