5. FILES CREATION AND TRANSFER

5.1 USB transfer

The MP903 has a fast USB interface to manage the player's hard disk from a computer. When the player

is connected to a PC or a MAC, its hard disk is seen as an external hard disk with the same management

options than an internal one. You may use any type of file management software like Windows Explorer

or else.

USBmode:

1 – If the player is currently playing, press Stop. .

2 – Press the Option button. .

3 - Press or to scroll menus until the USB transfert option appears.

4 – Press to confirm the option. Mode USB

5 – Connect the USB cable to your computer if it’s not already done.

6 - Under Windows 2000, XP or MAC OS 9/X, the hard disk is immediately detected by your system. It

becomes usable as data hard disk with all the desired transfer, delete or move possibilities.

You can click on the small icon in the lower right corner of your screen to check if the driver is present.

A window would open with the names of the different USB devices connected. You would see the

player’s hard disk.

Note: Under Windows 98SE, you’ll need to install a specific

driver, downloadable on our site: www.id-al.com.

Transfer example using Windows Explorer:

1 - Open Windows Explorer (Windows file manager)

2 – Search MP3 files on your hard disk or CD ROM or any other

media.

3 – Select the files to be copied and transfer them in one of the MP903 player’s directories.

Precautions:

- Do not save files at the root of the player’s hard disk. They won’t be seen and could

disorder other files reading,

- Imposed directories must have their name written in upper case letters,

- Avoid creating empty directories,

- Rigorously organize your files and directories,

- A corrupted file could cause erratic play and static noise,

- The player manages only one level of directories. Do not create subdirectories.

4 – Search and select the files on your hard disk.

5 – Copy the selected files

in the desired directory.

6 – You must then switch

off your player to exit USB

mode.

5.2 Directories use:

Some names are reserved for the system and must not be

used. You can manually create these directories or use

small utility software you’ll find on our site, www.id-al.com,

to automatically create all the default directories.

(Description at the end of this manual).

SONG:default directorycontainingallyourtracks.Itsname

must be written with uppercase (capital) letters.

Tip: This directory will serve as a “tank”. You can use

only this directory and place all your music inside.

IN: The “IN” directory gathers all the intervention files

together. It will contain files used by the timer message,

files launched from the optional inputs/outputs module,

infrared commands and various external commands.

Note : You will place in the "IN" directory all files called by

the programs. Name are "Txxx.mp3"

xxx = number from 001 and 255. (see programming

software chapter)

F001 to F255: Directories called by the programs to

customize music during a day. (see programming software

chapter)

F001 to F255 are also called by the "A" to "I" key at the front of the MP903

F001 = A / F002 = B / F003 = C .... F009 = I

Warning: all imposed names must be written with upper case (capital) letters.

Itis recommendedto deleteanyunused orempty directory.

For the other directories, you may use any desired name.

We suggest you to very strictly organize your hard disk in order to quickly find your titles. You can create

directories per musical genre, artist name, year, broadcasting date or any other personal organization.

Tip: You may use only one unique directory, “SONG”, insert thousand of titles inside, and let the player

pick up one song at a time for random playing.

Sub-directories :

With the V3 firmware, it is now possible to use sub-directories to organize the

music files but they will only be read by the file transfer software in USB mode.

The sub-directories will not be displayed on the LCD of the player and they will

be "transparent" : you will be able to navigate amongst the music files as if

sub-direcotries did not exist.

The use of sub-directories is highly recommanded for directories which include

more than 1000 files in order to reduce the searching delay between tracks.

5.3 Hard disk formatting

If the installed disk is not formatted, it won’t be recognized by the player and won’t be able to complete

its booting procedure. In this case, you must format the hard disk from your computer. If your disk is

already formatted, you can skip this chapter.

Before switching on your player, press the button and keep it pressed. Then switch on your player

with the front switch. After a few seconds, you’ll see this message appearing:

MODE USB in the player’s display. You can then release the button.

Connect your USB cable if it’s not already done. Your computer will then detect a new device. (See point

6 in the previous paragraph)

Use a hard disk management utility to create a main partition and format your hard disk in FAT32. You can

use the «Format» function in Windows Explorer. Take care as it’s often necessary to create a partition

before being able to format the hard disk. This operation is a little bit difficult and we suggest you to use

dedicated software.

Under Windows 98SE, you can use the “FDISK” software in the MSDOS windows to create a partition.

Be careful, this is a delicate operation. In case of mistake, you could destroy all the data on your main

hard disk.

Under Windows 2000, use the Disk manager from the Control panel. Don’t hesitate to open the Windows

Help menu or to be helped by a specialist.

Please note that, in Windows 2000 or XP, the disk manage-

ment utility is not able to format in FAT32 a hard disk greater

than 32GB.

Never use a NFTS formatting.

If you have a hard disk greater than 32GB, you have to use

other software. Numerous commercial tools exist, but also

Sharewares and Freewares.

If you don’t have this kind of software, we suggest you to use

the SwissKnife Freeware that you can download on our site.

This utility software will allow you to create any kind of parti-

tion and formatting without size limitation.

Choose the heading “Partition and Quick Format”. Select the player’s hard disk in the USB directory and

set the parameters like here after:

- Partition type: Primary

- File System: FAT32

- Volume Label: The name you want for the disk. For example “MP903”

- Set the formatting capacity to maximum (setting at the right of the pie)

Click then on “Create” and restart your computer. Your hard disk is now ready to receive data.

5.4 How to create your own MP3 files?

To build up your music library, you can use your own Audio CD. For this, you must convert it in MP3 files

in order for them to be transferred in the player. Many softwares are available to create, extract and

encode sound.

The most complete and most professional is “Sound Forge from SONY/Sonic Foundry”. This software

has all the sound editing tools you could need.

Free CDex software

You can also use the free “CD ex” soft-

ware to very simply extract and en-

codeAudio CDs. Cdex allows to record

audio tracks from Compact-Discs and

save them to MP3 or WAV format. It can

extract parts of tracks or convert WAV

files in MP3 files. It also has the basic

functions to play CD and supports the

CDDB protocol (identifying your CD’s

tracks via Internet).

Downloadable on www.id-al.com

Quick user’s guide for CDex.

1 – Launch the program and select the

Option menu to configure the software.

General

You can leave all the default settings.

® Waves System V 3.x - 2004

I.D. AL - MP903 - Professional MP3 audio player - ManualI.D. AL - MP903 - Professional MP3 audio player - Manual

I.D. AL - MP903 - Professional MP3 audio player - Manual

- 15 -

This has no effect on the player, as it doesn’t manage ID3 tags.

- Adjust volume (normalize) if the Audio CD is incorrectly mastered (too low or too high volume). This will

avoid future volume discrepancies between files.

It’s a better choice to activate normalization to avoid sound level changes in your musical library.

Filename

- Format: Up to your wishes, this set the format for the file and directory names that will be created

starting from the CD’s information. In order to know the various formats, click on the «?» button. You can

name your files as you want. Don’t forget that this name will be the one displayed on the player. For a

better reading comfort, avoid too long names.

CDROM

This configuration menu manages the CD player from your PC as well as the way to rip the Audio CD. If

it’s not correctly configured, you’ll have no sound. It’s a better choice not to change too much settings in

this page.

Encoder

- Codec used to encode the file extracted from the CD. You have different choices and, it’s up to you to

choose a codec or another (depend-

ing on compression, rendering, size,

loss on signal, etc). We chose here

the MP3 format.

- Select Lame MP3 Encoder (version

1.26 engine 3.91 MMX) or higher, still

the best MP3 encoder (up to today)

with a good operational speed and

rendering final quality.

- Encoding options:

Bitrate: Applied bit rate or interval,

depending of the encoding type. We

suggest a value of 128 (minimal and

maximal). You can choose other val-

ues to match the desired sound qual-

ity. The player can read any file from

8kBd to 320kBd. 128 kBd allows a

compression factor of 10 (it means

the file size will be 10 times smaller on the disk) without noticeable quality loss.

- Flag: Private - Checksum - Original - Copyright

Avoid changing these parameters.

- Quality: Encoding output quality, or preset selection. R3Mix Preset is a good compromise.

- Méthode VBR: VBR method. Avoid this encoding type.

CDDB

CDDB is an Audio CD database. When you insert a CD in the CD player, the CD ID is scanned and after

a query to a CDDB server on internet, the player will receive information about the artist, the album and

the tracks titles. With this function, you don’t have to enter names with your keyboard.

2 - Validate your options and insert an Audio CD

Insert anAudio CD in the CD player. Immediately, CDex will connect to local CDDB in search of the Audio

CD. If this Audio CD is unknown, the player will search information in the internet CDDB if you’re

connected to internet. You can then skip to the next phase.

3 – CD ripping

It’s time now for CD ripping. Select all the desired tracks. Click on the second icon in the right raw

track(s)->MPEG , or select the menu "Conversion => Extract CD tracks in MPEG format. You can also

extract only a part of the CD.

Ripping will be done in two steps.

A - Extraction

CDex will search music on the Audio CD and will save it in a temporary directory. Progress is shown in

a status bar.

B - Encoding

As for extraction, CDex then encodes the extracted files you chose, one by one, in MP3 format.

Depending on CD, player (and its extraction speed) and of course your computer performances, full

ripping of your Audio CD will take more or less time. Generally, a full CD is extracted and encoded in 10

to 15 minutes.

4 – Retrieve MP3 files in the destination folder and transfer them in your player.

Note: You can download Sound Forge demo version or a full version of CDex on our site: www.id-al.com

change at will. Password is made of a 4 keys combination to enter in a precise order from the 8 keys of

the keyboard.

RETAINYOUR PASSWORD.

When you exit the Option menu, your password is activated and you must now enter it to access the

Optionmenu.

What to do if you lost your password?

There is no way to recover a password. The only solution is a complete reset of the player. In this case,

you’ll loose all your programming and settings. This initialization doesn’t affect data stored on the hard

disk.

To reset the player and retrieve the factory settings, you must first switch off the player. Press and keep

pressed the key then switch on the player. The “Reset Factory” message is displayed. Release the

key and wait several minutes. Your player will then be ready to operate with its factory configuration and

the password will be erased.

Tip: To be sure that nobody could copy your data, think to lock the “RS232” link in “OFF” position. So,

even with an external remote, it won’t be possible to launch the USB mode and therefore to access the

hard disk.

Note: in “standby” mode (no play) and after 60 seconds, current date and time are displayed. A dot at the

left of the time digits means that timer is active.

6.4 Directly call of a title from the keyboard

At any time, you can call a file in the currently played directory. In order to do so, files you want to be

played must be numbered this way:

xxxxx title name.mp3

xxxxx = a number between 00001 and 65000

Example:

00001 Elton John – Song for Guy.mp3

32458 Queen – We are the champions.mp3

01276 The Beatles - Let it Be.mp3

00145 Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphonies N5.mp3

Be careful, you can call a file only if it is located in the currently played directory. If this

directory doesn’t exist, the player will play another file, randomly selected.
