.
NOTE
RIFF format MP3 files with .wav extensions are not
supported. 44.1 kHz is the only supported sampling
frequency. MP3 files with other frequencies, includ-
ing 48 kHz and 32 kHz, are not supported.
MP3.files.are.transferred.from.a.computer.by.the.USB.
cable..
Preparing MP3 files on a computer
Use.a.software.application.to.convert.tracks.from.a.CD.
or.other.source.into.MP3.files.on.the.computer..
4 When finished copying files, from the computer,
follow the procedures for your computer
operating system to disconnect the MP-VT1, and
then disconnect the USB cable. The MP-VT1 auto-
matically restarts.
.
NOTE
Most music importing software (e.g. iTunes) can
convert tracks from other formats to MP3s. However,
this software can probably also convert and import
into other formats. Please confirm that your soft-
ware is set to import tracks in MP3 format.
TIP
• You can create subfolders inside the MUSIC folder.
Two levels of subfolders can be used. By setting
the unit to play tracks only in a selected folder, you
can categorize tracks or create folders for different
users, for example. (See “Setting the play area” on
page 15.)
Procedures.to.copy.tracks.from.a.computer
1 Connect the MP-VT1 and the computer. (See
“Connecting to a computer” above.)
• Give names to the sub folders and tracks as you
wish them to appear on the MP-VT1 screen. (MP3s
with ID3 tags will have Title information shown
instead of file names.)
2 Click on the “MP-VT1” drive icon on the
computer to open it. There are two folders inside:
UTILITY and MUSIC.
• Subfolders and tracks 3 or more levels below will
not appear on the MP-VT1 and cannot be used with
the unit.
3 Drag and drop MP3 files from the computer into
the MUSIC folder. The MP3 files appear in the
MUSIC folder when copying to the MP-VT1’s
memory is complete.
