Transferring data using the Media Player

If you have the Microsoft Windows Media Player installed, you can transfer WMA files to the player and listen to them. See the Windows Media Player on-line help for details on how to do this.

Note:

-Use Windows Media Player 10 when transferring music distribution data (in WMA format) which uses DRM10 copyright protection to the Player.

First, select “WMPlayer10 (DRM10)” in the “PC Connecting Mode” setting (refer to page 22).

-Never disconnect the player from your PC during transfer.

-Files in subfolders up to two levels below the MUSIC folder can be transferred.

Precaution with playing/transferring of WMA (Windows Media Audio) files:

Note:

DRM: Digital Rights Management: a copyright security protection system that is used in WMA music files sold over the internet.

This systems disables illegal copying of music. Music data sold over the internet are normally copyright protected using either DRM (version 10) or PD-DRM (version 9).

For Windows XP User: A DRM (ver 10) copyright protected WMA music file purchased over the internet will play on the HDP-M3000 player if such music file is transferred from your PC to the player using Windows Media Player (ver 10), which is a data file management/player/transfer software that comes with your Windows XP.

For Windows 2000, Windows Me user: Since your OS will not support Windows Media Player (ver 10), the WMA music file which is either copyright protected and/or purchased over the internet, can be transferred from your PC to the HDP-M3000 player, however, the player will not be able to recognize that particular music file and thus will not play.

Designating the playback order (Playlist)

It is possible to designate the playback order of music. Create a playlist on your PC and transfer it to the player to play your music in that order.

It is also possible to transfer two or more playlists to the player.

1.Start up the MusicFileMaster (refer to page 10).

2.After selecting [Table of Contents] in [Help] menu, click [Basic operations] > [Creating / deleting portable device playlists] of [Portable device]. Then, store the data according to the instruction displayed on the screen.

Formatting the player’s data

Always format data using the player itself (refer to page 19).

Note:

-If you select the format function from the menu, the memory will be initialised and all files will be erased. Use only when you need it. Save a backup copy of your data on a PC, etc.

-The player might not operate normally if formatting the player with your PC.

-If you accidentally formatted using your PC, reformat it using the player.
