 IMPORTING MUSIC
IMPORTING MUSIC FROM A CD 
Place the CD in the slot-loading CD drive, and the MS-1 automatically copies the CD to 
the internal storage. With an established Internet connection, the MS-1 will retrieve CD 
information such as album, artist, genre, and track names. The CD will eject when the 
import is complete. CDs are copied into FLAC format; this is a lossless audio storage 
format. 
USING FTP 
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to exchange files over a 
network. The MS-1 features a built-in FTP server to upload an existing collection of 
digital music files. Refer to the BACKUP AND FILE MANAGEMENT section for more 
information. 
FROM EXTERNAL USB DRIVES 
To import  music files from USB hard drives and USB thumb drives, refer to the USB 
HARD DRIVE SYNC section. 
SUPPORTED FORMATS 
The MS-1 will play the following formats:  
• FLAC – Free Lossless Audio Codec 
• OGG – Ogg Vorbis 
• WAV – WAVE 
• M4A – Apple Lossless 
• WV  – WavPack 
Files without metadata (such as WAV files) must be played through the SOURCES → 
FILE SYSTEM menu. They will not show up in the Albums / Artists / Genres / Songs 
tabs. 
Any files with DRM (Digital Rights Management) are not compatible with the MS-1.
