USB Protocol
Why do I want to use MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) Mode?
MTP Mode is essential if you want to transfer copy protected or subscription content to your Lyra Recorder. Today MTP Mode is only supported in Windows XP and through Windows Media Player 10 or other special software provided by your music service provider. Please note, the Lyra Recorder doesn’t support
In MTP mode, your Lyra Recorder will no longer show up as a drive letter. So programs that were designed to work with a device that shows up as a drive letter will not be able to work directly with the Lyra Recorder.
Why do I want to use MSC (Mass Storage Class) Mode?
If you are using Windows 2000 you can not use MTP Mode, only MSC Mode is available. Your Lyra Recorder will always show up as an MSC device. Keep in mind, the Lyra Recorder doesn’t support
If you are using Windows XP, your Lyra Recorder will show up as a MTP device, but we have provided you with the option to switch it to MSC mode with a setting in the Setup menu of the Lyra Recorder. Once this setting is set to MSC mode, every time you connect the device to the PC it will show up as a drive letter and allow you to use any software that can work with MSC mode. This will also allow the current version of LyraDJ or any other playlist editing program to find the device.
All supported content put on the device in either mode MTP or MSC will be available to play on the device once it is disconnected from the PC. You could add standard mp3 files in the MSC mode, then run LyraDJ, profile the device, and disconnect it. Then simply switch it to MTP mode, reconnect it, and add copy protected or subscription content to it.
