Music Mode Practice Run
Start at your computer. You should already have some MP3 or Ogg Vor-
bis music files available. If you need help ripping your CDs to these for-
mats, consult the documentation for the CD ripper software.
1. Insert an MMC card with free space into your MMC card reader.
2. Select a few of your favorite songs and copy them onto the MMC
card. For now, copy only a few songs and place them directly in MMC
card's main folder. (Later, you might prefer to set up subfolders on the
card and organize your music by artist, album or genre.)
3. Wait until the songs are finished copying, then transfer the MMC
card to your iFINDER. (You can find instructions for this in Sec. 2,
starting on page 7.)
4. To turn on the unit, press and release the
PWR/LIGHT key.
5. The opening screen displays either a map of North America or the
music player. If the Map Mode opens up, press the
MAP/MUSIC key to
switch to Music Mode.
6. Open the file browser by pressing the
SONGS key, which will display
a list of the songs available on your iFINDER. These should match the
songs you just copied there. Using the arrow keys, choose one from the
list and press
PLAY. This is a quick and convenient combination to start
your music playing:
SONGS|PLAY.
7. The song will begin playing. Make sure you've attached your head-
phones (or other external speakers) as described in Sec. 2. You can use
the Browse Music Files screen (activated by pressing the
SONGS key) to
choose another song, if you want. If you'd prefer to play several songs,
move on to step 8.
8. Cancel the song currently playing by pressing
STOP. To have the
iFINDER create a play list of all of the songs on the MMC, press
SONGS|PLAY with the PLAY ALL option selected. The iFINDER will be-
gin playing the first song on the MMC.
9. Press
MENU|↓ to SOUNDS|ENT to open up the Sounds Menu. Press ↓
to
SHUFFLE and press ENT to toggle it on. Now press EXIT repeatedly un-
til you get back to the Music Mode display. Press
SONGS|PLAY again
and the iFINDER will begin playing a randomly sorted play list.
10. Listen to your favorite music. Now you can return to your computer
and add more songs or play lists to your MMC.
11. To turn off the unit, press and hold
POWER key for three seconds.
