Playing songs from a portable audio device

SonicStage™ Premium software is preinstalled in your computer and is designed to be immediately compatible with most portable audio devices. If your portable audio devices use OpenMG™ software, you must set up and configure each device before using it with SonicStage Premium software. Follow these steps to install your OpenMG software and configure a device:

1Insert the OpenMG software CD supplied with your audio device.

2When you are prompted to select installation options, select the option to install drivers only.

3Select the driver option that corresponds with the model name and number of your audio device. Click Install.

4Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the driver installation.

5Restart your computer when prompted.

6Connect your audio device to a USB port on your computer and wait for the Windows® operating system to detect it. (A message may appear in the Windows task tray.)

Open SonicStage Premium software:

1 Click Start in the Windows taskbar, and click All Programs.

2 Point to SonicStage Premium, and click SonicStage Premium. The SonicStage Premium main window appears.

Your audio device is configured for use with SonicStage Premium software.

Earlier versions of OpenMG™ Jukebox software (version 2.1 or earlier) are not compatible with SonicStage Premium software. If you have difficulty installing your portable audio device, go to the manufacturer’s support Web site to locate and download the latest drivers.
