Using Windows Media Player
Before ripping your CD to your computer using your
Windows Media Player there are a couple steps we
can go through to make sure that you are ripping them
to the compatible format for your Eclipse/Trio Player.

1. Open your Windows Media Player (these steps will
work on any version after WMP 9).
2. Click on Tools at the top of your screen. (If you do
not see tools hold down the ALT button and tap T).
3. Choose Options. This will pull up a menu with tabs.
Click on the RIP MUSIC tab.

down and choose MP3.
5. Click on Apply or OK to save.
Now that you have the necessary format required for
your player you can insert the CD that you want to rip.

1. Once CD is inserted you will see a screen that has
all of your tracks checked. (If you do not see this click
on the RIP tab at the top of your screen) .
2. Next, if the rip process doesn’t automatically start
for you, click on the button at the top of your window
that says Rip CD.
3. Once this is finished ripping click on Music on the
left hand side of your screen to review your installed
albums .
Your music is now ready to be copied over to your
Eclipse/Trio MP3 player .
1. Using your USB cable, plug in your Eclipse/Trio
MP3 player into your computer . (You may get a pop
up screen asking what you want to do with this, go
ahead and close that screen).
2. In your Windows Media Player you will see an area
on the right hand side of your screen that says Sync
List. You can drag your desired music into the Sync
List and drop it in.
