You need at least 1 storage medium in order to work with MP11. MP11 con-
tains a 1-GB CompactFlash card, completely pre-congured on delivery. This
means: The CompactFlash card not only contains MP11 system les but also
the folders, onto which you need to copy your songs (in some folders you
can already nd a few songs on delivery).
And since with MP11 you can use the CompactFlash card included on delive-
ry as well as a USB ash drive, it is recommendable to rst make a complete
1:1 copy of the CompactFlash-card data on your PC hard-disk. That way, you
have the possibility of copying the original data that was delivered onto a
USB ash drive.
Before copying the data onto a USB ash drive, please note that when you
purchase a new USB ash drive, there might already be a few les or utilities
on the drive. These could heavily impair the performance of MP11. Therefore,
it is very important to completely RE-format the USB ash drive before using
it. To do this, connect the USB ash drive to a USB port of your PC/laptop,
and format the drive. Keep in mind that you need to format the storage
medium in FAT or FAT32 le system.
After that, you can copy the existing les and folders of the CompactFlash
card onto the USB ash drive (for example, via Windows Explorer or Desk-
top).
If you want to copy new songs onto the storage medium, you can do that as
well via Windows Explorer or Desktop. However, it is recommendable to use
the MP11 Utility software to do this (see page 16), so that later you can take
advantage of MP11‘s full potential.
If at some point, you want to delete a few songs that are on the storage
medium (songs you no longer need), you can do that via Windows Explorer
or Desktop.
Note: You can have the CompactFlash card as well as the USB ash drive connec-
ted to MP11 at the same time, however, only one storage medium at a time can
be active. You can see on the lower right part of the display, in the Title list, which
of the two storage media you are currently using (CF or USB).
If you are working with the data on the CompactFlash card, but you want to
access the data on the USB ash drive, you can proceed as described on page 46
to carry out the change and access the second storage medium.
