select “On”. After setting “WebRemote” to “On”, enter either the Digital Music Library’s IP address or friendly name
(hostname) into the browser’s address bar and press the Enter key. The page below will then open. You can now
operate the Digital Music Library remotely by clicking or tapping the buttons on the web page. As the display
changes on the web browser, the Digital Music Library’s display will change accordingly to match. You can still
manually operate the Digital Music Library using its physical buttons while WebRemote is enabled.
While “WebRemote” is enabled, the “Network”, “Drive”, and “Initialize Settings” options will not appear on the
“Settings”page to ensure that no one but you can change or utilize these settings. To display these settings, disable
“WebRemote”.
Please note that not all features of the Digital Music Library will be available from a web browser.
Notes:
• To easily access the Digital Music Library via a web browser for remote operation, we recommend creating a
browser bookmark or a shortcut on the home screen. On a mobile device, opening the shortcut allows you to
remotely operate the Digital Music Library in full screen.
• If the Digital Music Library’s IP address changes, you will not be able to remotely operate the Digital Music Library
through the bookmark or the home screen shortcut. In such a case, access the Digital Music Library through the
web browser via its new IP address and create the bookmark or shortcut again. To keep using the same bookmark
or shortcut, we recommend setting a static IP address for the Digital Music Library. Refer to the “Changing the IP
Address” section in chapter 4 for the procedure to configure a static IP address for the Digital Music Library.
• When you click or tap the Digital Music Library's display on the web browser, the display will be in full screen.
Click or tap the screen again to exit the full screen display.

• If the Back button is pressed while importing, the import process will be cancelled after the Digital Music Library
finishes importing the current file. If the imported file size is large, the cancellation process may take a few
minutes to finish.
Import Destination Details
Imported music files will be stored in the“import” folder. There are two options to store the imported data in the
Digital Music Library. To change these options, navigate to Settings > Import from USB Drive and select “Into One
Folder” or “Into Folders by Date”.
• Into One Folder: If you select this option, data will be imported into the “all”folder within the “import” folder.
With this option, only files with changes will be imported to the Digital Music Library. Files with no changes from
the previous import session will not be imported.
• Into Folders by Date: If you select this option, a folder that contains the import date in the folder name will
be created within the“import” folder and all imported files will be stored in that folder. Even if the same data is
included in the USB drive, it will be copied to the Digital Music Library.
Importing from a Music CD
To import tracks from a music CD, follow the procedure below.
Notes:
• Importing tracks from a music CD requires an optical drive (not included). Use only the compatible optical
drives listed on melco-audio.com. Depending on the manufacture date, circumstances, and specifications of a

Chapter 3 Basic Usage

4 When the CD is detected, the Digital Music Library will try to get the album information automatically. When
the display changes from getting the music album information, press the Menu/Enter button.
If the Digital Music Library is connected to the Internet, music tracks will be imported using the acquired
album information.
If multiple titles are found, select the appropriate album title on the displayed window. Once you have selected
the album title, you can return to the previous window and select it again by pressing the Back button. The
album title with the “ ” symbol will contain the cover art.
If the Digital Music Library is not connected to the Internet, or if the CD information is not available from the
online music database, the album name and music title information will not be acquired. In such a case, the
import date will be used as the album name and the track number as the filename.
Note: If the Digital Music Library cannot get the music album information while connected to the Internet,
check your device’s security settings or security software to make sure that the Digital Music Library has
permission to access the Internet.
5 Check the imported tracks using the Up/Down buttons and press the Menu/Enter button.
6 The import process will start. The album title, artist, title of the music file, and format information will be
displayed.
After importing finishes, the disc tray of the optical drive will open automatically.
7 Press the Menu/Enter button.
To import tracks from another CD, repeat the process from step 2 above. If you have finished importing, press the
Down button or the Back button.
Import Destination Details
Imported tracks will be stored in the “import_CD” folder. If importing from a non-music CD, the imported data will
be stored in the“import” folder, not the “import_CD” folder.
18
Chapter 3 Basic Usage

Imported tracks can be moved, copied, and shared on a network, but the cover art file (folder.jpg) cannot be viewed
by another device or copied to another location outside the “Internal” folder. If you want to move or copy the
“import_CD” folder to another device and it contains a cover art file, remove the file first.
To stop acquiring the cover art files when importing music file, navigate to Settings > USB-CD Drive > Gracenote
Coverart and select “Off”.

section in chapter 5.
Changing the Cover Art
The cover art file (folder.jpg) is stored in the“import_CD” folder. To change the cover art, replace the current cover
art file with a new one. If the old cover art is displayed from a controller app, refresh the content on the controller
app to apply any changes. If the old cover art is still displayed, rescan the music database by navigating to Settings >
Music Database > Rescan Songs and Playlists on the Digital Music Library.
