Tips & Warnings

• Using Windows Media Player 10 has a lot of advantages over Windows Media Player 9. It may be possible to use the new Windows Media player 11 with this device; however, a firmware upgrade may be required first.

• In Windows Media Player 10, you can set your device to automatically sync. This means whenever you connect the USB cable your music library will automatically be synchronised.

• The sync is one way. Music will not be synchronised from your device to your computer. Don't worry about deleting files on the player itself.

• Use Windows Media Player to rip audio CD's so you can store them on your device. Some CD's may have copy protection to prevent this being possible.

• You can create a play list of up to 1000 songs on your device. You could even have a different play list for each mood you might be in!

• Never rip CD's you don't personally own. Remember, music piracy is a very serious offense.
