GETTING STARTED
How does the player work?
What software will be required on my computer?
For easy communication with your player, Windows Media Player,
version 11 (WMP11) or later is recommended to manage your music
files.
Windows Media Player software is supplied free of charge with
Microsoft Windows, but depending on the age of your computer, the
version installed may not be version 11.
A library of music files is created on a personal computer. These files
are generally copied to the computer from music CDs (ripped). You
can then select music within the library that you want to listen to on
your personal MP3 player. Each time your MP3 player is connected, the
player will check the computer library and add new tracks that you
have marked to synchronise with the player.
To check the version of Windows Media Player:
Does the computer need to be a particular specification?
Your computer should meet a minimum specification of -
•

Media Player)

files on your player.
