Transferring your CD collection to your archos

You can easily create music files with your computer by using Windows Media® Player

10 or higher to convert your CDs to a playable format for your ARCHOS:

1.Place a music CD in your computer, and Windows® will ask you what action you would like to perform.

2.Choose Rip music from CD, and Windows Media® Player will start ripping the CD. The songs will be automatically extracted from the CD and encoded into the MP3 or WMA format, according to what you chose in Windows Media® Player’s ripping options. The default format is WMA.

3.Once this is done, the album will become part of your Music Library.

4.See Transferring Files to learn how to transfer the ripped music files onto the ARCHOS.

See yourWindows Media® Player help instructions for more information.

•Check the laws and regulations in your country or jurisdiction to know if private copying of your

CDs for your own use is authorized.

•Some music CDs have a special copy protection system that will not allow Windows Media® Player to make music files from them.

•For this to work, you will need a WiFi connection and Windows Media® Player 11 or higher* installed on your PC.

•The ARCHOS uses the UPnP (Universal Plug-and-play) standard to stream shared music from your PC’s Windows Media® Library.

•See: Playing your PC’s Shared Media Files (UPnP).

*There are other products (software) on the market that also can share media files using the UPnP standard.
