Other than Compact Flash card (which I do not own any I only have SD Micro & Mini cards) what other mediums are there in taking advantage of the 9GB internal "Music Box?"

For instance right now I have an mp3 cd on shuffle in there and I love it. I have like 130 songs on there in Mp3 and they are all named properly. Now how do I go about ripping or copying those mp3s over to my music box so that it can just play from the internal hard drive/flash or w/e?

Also is there a difference between using normal audio cds the ones that have tracks based on 80 minute marks with 17-20 songs on them versus using mp3 cds? I assume that with the mp3 CDs I can just copy songs over in an unchanged mp3 format and keep same bitrates and whatnot. However with a normal audio CD does it actually encode the songs to mp3 and save to the music box?

How does it all work? A detailed DIY guide would be appreciated....

 

You can only rip Audio CDs (not MP3 CDs) onto the music box. The music box also converts the music to ATRAC3 I believe (since 105 Kbps or 132 Kbps is ATRAC3)

And owner's manual = DIY guide

 

Oh ok figures...not as Windows friendly as I thought it was...I was hopin it retains mp3 format but whatever....

Ill check the owner manual


thanks
