3 Importing Music

3.1 Ripping CDs

To import CDs into your Olive 4HD library please follow these simple steps:

1. SELECT THE AUDIO FORMAT

Go to SETTINGS > CD SETTINGS > CD IMPORT QUALITY and select the quality of the encoding. We recommend FLAC as it preserves the original CD quality while reducing the storage requirement to about 50% of uncompressed music (WAV). Once you set the quality, it will apply to all CDs that you rip.

2. INSERT THE CD

Apop-up screen will appear, displaying the album title, artist and the album artwork.

If the CD is not recognized (i.e. the title of the album and artist show up as “unknown”) we recommend connecting the Olive 4HD to the internet to browse the online CD database. If the CD is still not recognized you can edit the information through the Maestro web interface (page 14) later on. Please do not edit the information until the CD is fully transcoded.

iYour Olive 4HD needs to be connected to the internet in order to get album artwork. If album artwork is not available, an Olive logo will appear as a placeholder.

iThe Olive 4HD only supports regular Audio CDs. SA-CD and DVD Audio is not supported.

3. RIP THE CD

Tap on the IMPORT button and the CD will be ripped. You can check the import status in the main menu under

CD IMPORT STATUS.

The CD ripping is done in two stages: 1) Copying the music in uncompressed format onto the hard drive (takes 5-7 minutes per CD); 2) Transcoding the music into the format you have selected in step 1 (takes 20-25 minutes per CD).

If you have selected the uncompressed WAV format, the ripping process is complete after the CD has been copied to the HDD.

iThe transcoding of CDs takes a lot of processing power and we recommend to pause after importing 20 to 30 CDs so the Olive 4HD can finish the transcoding process. During transcoding the navigation of the Olive 4HD can appear slow as only limited processing power is available.
