copying music from a networked PC

To copy MP3 files from your PC to your digital entertainment center, you can either:

■burn the files to CD and then record the CDs to your library (see “recording CD tracks” on page 28), or

■copy the files directly across your home network

To copy the files directly, your PC and your digital entertainment center must be networked together. In addition, you must enable file sharing on your digital entertainment center (see “file sharing” on page 68 for instructions).

To copy files directly:

1On your PC, choose Start, then Run.

2In the Run window's Open field, type the IP address of your de100c. A window appears, containing a folder called import.

note To find the digital entertainment center’s IP address, go to the digital entertainment center itself. From the home menu, select Settings, then Network settings. The IP address is displayed onscreen.

3Locate the MP3 files on your PC that you want to copy. For example:

—From Start, choose Find, then Files or Folders.

—In the Named field, enter *.mp3.

—Ensure that the Look In field is set to the drive you want to search.

—Click on Find Now.

4Select (highlight) the files you want and copy (drag) them to the import folder.

note You cannot copy files directly from the digital entertainment center to the PC.

tip

The copied files will quickly appear in your music library, catalogued with the same artist, album, genre and track titles as they were on your PC.

If you don't see the files right away, note that the digital entertainment center must be on, but idle, for about two minutes to perform the operation.
