This package is bundled with a USB Compact Card Reader.
The reader connects to the USB port of a computer (PC o
r
MAC). When appropriate software drivers are installed on the
computer, this card reader will become a removable drive in
“My Computer”, for example (E: Drive), with memory capacity
equal to those of the Compact Flash card inserted into the
reader. Use this drive in the similar way you use a floppy drive.
The contents of the software installation CD-ROM supplied with
this package contains:
- USB Reader Driver Installation Program (PC and MAC)
- Free version of Music Match Jukebox (PC Only)
- Free 7 day Trial version of SoundJam Jukebox (Mac Only)

Earphone Connection CF Card Eject
You would need to use the jukebox to convert (rip) your own
CD music collections into MP3 files, or to play MP3 files on
your computer. You could drag and drop your MP3 files into the
CF Card memory just like transferring your other files to a

other files readable by the computer; your IJ-50 player would
only play the MP3 files and disregard all other files in the CF
