Deleting MP3 files in iAUDIO / Formatting HDD
Deleting MP3 Files from iAUDIO
You can delete files in iAUDIO in the same manner as in Windows Explorer.

appears. Click ‘Yes’ to delete them.
You can also delete files from the pop-up menu that appears when you right click your mouse after selecting a
file in the memory window.
Formatting HDD
iAUDIO requires formatting as HDD does. You should be careful when formatting iAUDIO since all data in
the memory will be deleted.
1. Click ‘Device Memory Format’ from the File menu. The following window appears. You may format as FAT32.
If not formatted as FAT32, iAUDIO will be recognized as a USB storage medium only, and the MP3 Player will not operate properly.
You must use FAT32, and never use the NTFS file system that is supported in Windows 2000 and XP.
Or you may right click the iAUDIO drive from Windows Search function and format it.

Converting Audio CD Tracks to MP3 Files and Downloading Them to iAUDIO
With JetShell, you can easily convert your Audio CD into MP3 files and download them to iAUDIO.
Since the Audio CD tracks are digitally converted to MP3 without transforming them to wave files first, the speed is very fast.
1. Before getting started, you must choose the quality of the MP3 files to create. Click [Setup] –[MP3 Encoder Option] to set the
desired bitrate of the MP3 files. (The files compressed in a high bitrate have a higher sound quality and a bigger file size.)
2. From the File Management section, select the CD-ROM drive in which the Audio CD is inserted. Select the audio
tracks from the right window and click or [File] –[Convert CD to MP3] from the menu.
3. Specify the path to save the MP3 files in. Choose a folder in iAUDIO to directly download MP3 files onto iAUDIO.

1. Ripping Enhanced CD
For some enhanced CDs, you cannot directly select the tracks on the CD.
In this case, you can right click your mouse on button and select a track to convert to file as shown in the
picture below. However, for some Audio CDs for which copy protection technology is applied, this ripping method
may not work.
What is an enhanced CD?
This is an audio CD that contains video or data for a PC.
2. Accessing Internet CD Database
When you press the button, the information on the CD, such as the singer and song title can be acquired through the Internet.
To use CD database, the Internet connection must be enabled. You may not be able to use this feature depending on the status of the network
or the proxy server settings.
The tracks appear when you right click your mouse.
When incorrect data is stored in the CD database, the texts may appear abnormally on your PC. This is not an error of
JetShell but the information stored in CDDB.
4. Changing MP3 Bitrate
You can change the bitrate of MP3 files by selecting [MP3 Bit Rate Conversion] from the menu.
