Introduction

WHAT IS MP3/WMA FORMAT?

MP3/WMA format files are compressed digital audio files, which consumers can listen to with near CD quality.

Commercial CD audio files can be compressed to MP3/WMA format files, which are suitable for internet

transmission due to their compact size and can be stored in a portable audio device. The user, for example,

can record their favorite music album, storing it in a device’s on board flash memory or on a memory card for

players that are card slot equipped. Both formats are popular on today’s legitimate music download web sites.

WHAT IS THE DiskGO! Digital AUDIO Secure WMA/MP3 PLAYER?

The DiskGO! Digital Audio Player Secure WMA/MP3 is a portable lightweight and portable device which can be

used for MP3/WMA music file playback and ADPCM (WAV) files recording/playback . It can also serve as an

additional portable drive when it is connected to a PC or Mac via the USB Port. Because the player has no

moving parts, the music will never jump or skip when playing.

(Important Note: this player is capable of playing Secure WMA files downloaded from a pay service. These

files cannot be dragged and dropped to the player as typical MP3 and WMA files can. You must use Windows

Media 9 Player to add this type of file to this audio player.)

removable drives, e.g. “ E “and “ F “ or a single drive will appear in the “My Computer” window.

• When no files are found in the internal memory or memory expansion slot, the play button will no

effect.

• Any abnormal disconnection between PC and player may cause the computer to stop while

error. You may need to re-format either storage location before you can continue to use them.

• Once the transfer of files has been started, you may press the Cancel button on the dialogue

window to terminate the transferring process. Because it takes some time for PC’s to remove the

data from the register buffer, the dialogue box may soon disappear on the window but the data

terminated.

(Tip: “READING ” or “WRITING” characters and “PC LINK” characters are no longer displayed)
