Transferring Audio Files to Your Lyra Recorder

You can transfer audio files to your Lyra Portable Multi-media Recorder via Yahoo! Music Engine, Windows Explorer, or Windows Media Player 10.

Important: In order to transfer secure music files using Windows XP to your Lyra Recorder, you must set the USB Protocol setting to MTP in the Setup menu before connecting your Lyra. The Lyra Recorder doesn’t support copy-protected content if you are using Windows 2000. See page 52 for more information.

If your Lyra Recorder isn’t already connected to your computer, connect it using the provided USB cable (go to page 14 for information on connecting the USB cable). Don’t disconnect the USB cable during music download. Doing so may corrupt system files or the files being downloaded. It is highly recommended that the Lyra Recorder be connected to the ROOT USB PORT (the main USB port) on the PC or a self powered USB hub.

From Windows Explorer, open the Lyra Recorder drive. Open the drive where the files/folders you want to transfer are located, and highlight them. Drag the files/folders to the AUDIO system folder on the Lyra Recorder drive.

Helpful hint: You can also right click on your content in Windows Explorer and select Copy (or Ctrl + C).

Then from the AUDIO folder, right click and select Paste (or Ctrl + V) to add the copied content.

It is highly recommended that all supported audio files (mp3 or other formats) be stored in the AUDIO system folder to allow for easy navigation and organization of the contents of the Lyra Recorder.

Note: You must stop the USB connection before disconnecting the USB cable (go to page 17 for more information on disconnecting the USB cable).

An SD/MMC memory card can also be used to transfer audio files. If an SD/MMC memory card is properly inserted, an additional drive is available through Windows Explorer to transfer content onto. Please ensure the correct drive is being used when transferring content from the device. Go to page 49 for more information on transferring files from the SD/MMC memory card.

When all files have been transferred to the Lyra Recorder from the PC, you MUST re-profile the contents to ensure all content is properly sorted and recognized on the Lyra Recorder. Eject the Lyra Recorder through the tray application (see page 17), then run the profiler. In the Setup menu, go to the Audio/Video menu and select Profile. Go to page 25 for more details on the profiler.

Transferring Predefined Audio Playlists to your Lyra Recorder

Predefined M3U audio playlists can be created on your PC using Yahoo! Music Engine (or any other music management software that supports M3U audio playlist files). Refer to the Yahoo! Music Engine User Manual for details. Use Windows Explorer to transfer predefined playlists to your Lyra Recorder.

If your Lyra Recorder isn’t already connected to your computer, connect it using the provided mini-USB cable.

From Windows Explorer, highlight the predefined playlists that you have created in Yahoo! Music Engine and drag them to the AUDIO folder located on the Lyra Recorder drive.

Helpful hint: You can also right click on your content in Windows Explorer and select Copy (or Ctrl + C).

Then from the AUDIO folder, right click and select Paste (or Ctrl + Y) to add the copied content.

Notes: Only Audio M3U playlists files stored in the AUDIO folder will be recognized by the device. Audio playlists can be stored in sub-folders under the AUDIO system folder for easier navigation and storage of your playlist files.

Audio playlists files must use the .M3U files extension in order to be properly recognized by the device.
