Adding Sound Module Audio Files
It’s easy to add, remove or change the
music files on the sound module. All
audio files must be in the MP3 audio
format to play correctly.
Page 9of 16
Step 1 - Connect the Data Cable to your
computer and Sound Module.
Step 2 - You will see the drive show up
as “FSSM” in your computer, similar to a
flash drive.
Step 3 -At this point you can now add
or remove files to the sound module.
The easiest way is to open two windows
and put them side by side; one with the
files you have on your computer, and
one with contents of the FSSM drive
(the sound module).
Now, Drag and Drop the files from your
computer to the FSSM drive. This will
make a copy of the files on the Sound
Module which can then be played.
Step 4 - “Eject” the FSSM drive on your
computer before disconnecting the USB
cord from the computer or sound
module.

ALERT -Please keep a back-up of your
audio files on your computer in case of
damage to the sound module.
Important Notes to Get the Most out
of Using your Sound Module
·The audio files will play in the order
they were added to the sound module.
·If the play order is important, copy one
file over at a time until all are added.
·To remove a file, delete it from the
FSSM drive and it will no longer play.
·Files must be in an MP3 format to
play.
·We recommend using a 128 kbps
quality setting (same setting Apple
Music uses).
Page 11 of 16
·At 128 kbps setting, the sound module
should hold about 2 hours of music.
·A higher quality setting can be used
but will not be noticeable in the audio
quality output of the sound module.
·You can fit significantly more music
onto the sound module by decreasing
the quality setting of the music.
However, we do not recommend using
a bit rate any lower than 32 kbps
because of the poor sound quality of
the music file.
·The total amount of files added to the
sound module must be less than 120
Mb as this is the limit of the memory in
the sound module.
·Use only NEW name brand batteries.
Using weak batteries can cause the
audio to not play correctly. The sound
Page 12 of 16
module will notify you of weak
batteries as well.
·Some music files have a second or so
of dead silence at the beginning or
end of the file. Because of this, when
you press the PLAY button, the sound
may not beginimmediately. If this is a
problem, edit the source audio file to
remove the dead space.
·Always remember to first “Eject” the
FSSM drive from your computer
before you disconnect the USB
connection. This will help prevent
possible file corruption errors.

Important Precautions
·Do not expose to temperatures above
110°F or below 25°F.
·Do not use in wet environments.
·Do not attempt to dismantle the sound
module housing. Doing so will void your
warranty. If your unit isn’t working contact
us and request assistance.
·Do not disconnect the USB Data Cable
from a computer without first “ejecting” the
“FSSM” drive. Failure to do so could
cause the memory to fail and/or damage
to the audio files on the sound module.
·Friendly Songs® is not responsible for any
loss of audio files. Maintain a back-up of
the files added to this device. Please
follow all of the user guide directions.
