Installing the USB Card Reader

In order to transfer music or pictures from your computer to the Juice Box™ player, you
must have your USB-compatible card reader installed. The reader can be plugged into any
USB port available on your computer.
Using a USB Extension Cord (if needed)
If your USB port is located in the back of the computer, you can use the USB cable as an
extension so that your card reader is still accessible from the front.

Creating a Juice Box™ formatted chip
The Juice Box™ media player tags most SD or MMC storage chips with a special code so
that the Juice Box™ software recognizes the chip as suitable for downloads. Tagging a
chip takes a few simple steps:
Take the new SD or MMC storage chip and insert it into the Juice Box™ Flash Card
adapter, label-side up. The Flash Card adapter is a converter that allows standard storage
chips to act like Juiceware™ media chips.
Insert the loaded Juice Box™ Flash Card adapter (label-side up) into a Juice Box™ media
player.
Turn on the Juice Box™ media player.
The Juice Box™ media player will automatically tag your storage chip with the proper
code. First, turn OFF the Juice Box™ media player, then take the storage chip out of the
Flash Card adapter, insert it into the card reader and it's ready to use!

To download files to play on your Juice Box™ media player, first click on the Library tab -
either Music or Picture - which you want to use. You can then import files into the chosen
Library by clicking the Import button.
The Import button takes you to a default directory (generally, the My Music or My Pictures
directory on your desktop computer). You can either select files from that directory or use
the taskbar to navigate to another directory.
Highlight the files you want to load and then double-click on them (for a single file) or
press Enter to import multiple files. If you are trying to import music and picture files at
the same time, the Juice Box™ software will automatically sort them into the appropriate
library.

The selected files will then be copied to the Juice Box™ Libraries. Your music can be
sorted through its ID3 tag, allowing cataloguing by Name, Artist, or Album. Pictures are
simply arranged alphabetically.
You may then download the files to your SD or MMC storage chip simply by highlighting
the files in your library and pressing the Download button. You can continue to download
files in this manner until the storage chip is filled. The status of the storage chip's memory
is presented at the bottom of the screen with a graphical representation showing how
much free memory is left.

The storage chip that comes included with the Juice Box™ MP3 Starter Kit holds 32Mb of
storage, approximately a CD's worth of music.
The maximum bitrate playable on the Juice Box™ media player is 128kbps. While songs
with higher bitrates may be loaded onto the storage chip, these songs will experience

drop-out and decompression problems when played on the Juice Box™ media player and
may stop the player from working altogether without warning.

The Juice Box™ software recognizes JPG, BMP, PNG, and GIF picture formats.
Pictures downloaded to the storage chip are converted to a .jbp (Juice Box™ Picture)
format. The resolution of this format is 240x160.
Double clicking on a picture will preview it in the new format; on some personal
computers this may make the picture appear smaller and less sharp. Such issues will be
immediately resolved when the picture is shown in its proper format on the Juice Box™
player.

You can preview the file you want downloaded by double-clicking on it with the mouse.
MP3s will play by accessing whatever MP3 music program you have designated as your
default player in Windows® operating system. If you Don't have an MP3 player installed
on your PC, you will not be able to preview an MP3. You can download one from
www.winamp.com
Pictures will appear in their .jbp format, at a resolution of 240x160. They may also be
rotated so that the picture is oriented correctly for display.

Utilizing CoffeeCup® software, the Juice Box™ program allows you to 'rip' songs off of a
standard CD and download them to a properly formatted SD or MMC chip.

To rip songs, do the following steps:
Insert your CD into the CD-ROM drive.
Left-click the Rip CD button.
The song information for the CD should list automatically. This software reads the CD
information contained in the id3 tags and will reveal it in the track list.
Select the track(s) you want to rip by clicking on the check box to the left of the songs or
click the topmost check box to highlight all of the songs.
Click the Make MP3s button to start the ripping process.
Caution: For the program to operate properly, your display font size must be set to 96 dpi
or higher. Right click on your desktop and select Properties, select the Settings tab and
click on Advanced. You should be able to change the font setting under the General tab.
The program displays each song's progress through the Status bar, which graphically
represents how much longer you have until full extraction.

The Ripping Menu also has three other features: Settings, Edit Album, and Burn CDs.
Settings
Settings lets you alter the bitrate setting of the music you are trying to record. Please
remember that the Juice Box™ player does not support bitrates higher than 128kbps.
