Transferring files via Windows Explorer (Drag-and-Drop)

In Windows® XP and when Windows Media Player 10 is installed, the player is connected to the computer in MTP mode. In the Windows Explorer, when the player is opened, the “Data” and “Media” views will be displayed for the player.

The Data folder is used to manage data content on the player, such as text files. The Media folder is used to manage media content supported by the player for playback, such as mp3 and wma.

You can copy files to the player through Windows Explorer (drag-and-drop). Picture files should be copied to the “Media” folder for viewing while video files cannot be dragged and copied to the “Media” folder directly. The video files must be converted and transferred via RCA Video Converter for playback (refer to page 19). Alternatively, you can transfer the converted video files to the "Data" folder via the Windows Explorer (drag-and-drop).

You can copy files to / delete files from the player through Windows Explorer (drag-and- drop), but you cannot open or edit the files directly from the player. If you want to edit the files, you will need to copy the files from the player to another location (drive) in the system.
