MTP/MSC switching
Why do I want to use MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) Mode?
MTP Mode is essential if you want to transfer DRM content to your Lyra Jukebox. Today
MTP Mode is only supported in Windows XP and through Windows Media Player 10.0 or
other special software provided by your music service provider. In MTP mode you Lyra
Jukebox will no longer show up as a drive letter. So programs that were designed to
work with a device that shows up as a drive letter will not be able to work directly with
the Lyra Jukebox.
Why do I want to use MSC (Mass Storage Class) Mode?
If you are using Windows 98SE, ME or 2000 you can not use MTP Mode only MSC
Mode is available. Your Lyra Jukebox will always show up as a MSC device.
If you are using Windows XP your Lyra Jukebox will show up as a MTP device, but we
have provide you the option to be able to switch it to MSC Mode with a setting in the
Advanced Options section of the Lyra Jukebox. Once this setting is set to MSC Mode
every time you connect the device to the PC it will show up as a drive letter and allow
you to use any software that can work with MSC Mode. This will also allow the current
version of LyraDJ or any other playlist editing program to find the device.
All supported content put on the device in either mode MTP or MSC will be available to
play on the device once it is disconnected from the PC. So you could add mp3 files in the
MSC Mode then run LyraDJ, Profile the device and disconnect it. Then switch it to MTP
Mode and reconnect it and add DRM content to it.
