USER'S GUIDE

Note: Both the Workgroup and VIA!dj Name should be in uppercase.

• In the SMB Mount window click the OK button.

• In the SMB/CIFS Filesystem Authentication window enter the username

<username> and the password <password> and then click the OK button.

A window showing the contents of the VIA!dj Hard Disk will be displayed.

At the top level of the Media Transfer directory structure are two folders entitled

MusicShare and Import.

Importing Files to Your VIA!dj

• Double click on the folder entitled Import. An empty folder window will be

displayed.

To Import Music Files:

• Navigate to the location of the music ﬁ les on your computer.

• Use your mouse to select the ﬁ les you wish to import and drag them into the

Import window.

The ﬁ les will appear brieﬂ y in the Import window but after a few seconds will disap-

pear. These ﬁ les should now be accessible in the Library of your VIA!dj

Note: The currently supported audio ﬁ le types for import are WMA and MP3 (WMA

Lossless and DRM protected ﬁ les are not supported). Any ﬁ les of an unsupported

type that are dropped into the Import folder will not be imported.

To Import Cover Art Files:

• Navigate to the location of the Cover Art ﬁ les on your computer.

• Use your mouse to select the ﬁ les you wish to import and drag them into the

Import window.

The ﬁ les will appear brieﬂ y in the Import window but after a few seconds will disap-

pear. These ﬁ les should now be available when selecting Cover Art for an Album in the

Library. When importing Cover Art, naming the Cover Art ﬁ le the same name as the

Album will make it easier to select when choosing the Cover Art.

Note: The currently supported image ﬁ le types are BMP and JPEG. Files will be resized

automatically. Any ﬁ les of an unsupported type that are dropped into the Import folder

will not be imported.

When organizing Albums to import into the VIA!dj, it may be easiest to create a folder

with the name of each Album to be imported. Within that folder, place the music for

that Album and the Cover Art for that Album. The Cover Art will then be automatically

associated with the Album.

Exporting Files From Your VIA!dj

• Double click on the folder entitled MusicShare. A folder window will be

displayed containing a folder for each Artist present in the Library of your

VIA!dj.

Note: If MediaShare is disabled, this folder will not be present.

• Double click on the folder for an Artist. A folder window will be displayed

containing a folder for each Album by the chosen Artist present in the Library.

• Double click on the folder for an Album. A folder window will be displayed

containing all the Tracks within the Album and a JPEG ﬁ le containing the Cover

Art for the Album.

You now have read-only access to these ﬁ les and can drag and drop them to a loca-

tion on your PC. You are now also able to copy music from your VIA!dj directly to your

portable player.
