The following general functions are available in "Audio". To get there, please press the "Selector" until you
hear "Audio".
4.1.1.1. Folder navigation in Audio
The application "Audio" allows M312 Ace to navigate freely through the entire computer folder structure
on the internal memory or on the SD memory card. To do this, use the four buttons, which are arranged to
"play" around as navigation cross. With "Rec" you go up to a higher level. With "Mode" you reach the next
lower level. In the vertical axis, so you can navigate with "Rec" and "Mode"., or move horizontally using the
two arrow keys.
Example: Suppose you have an SD memory card in the M312 Ace with two folders, "Music" and "Text". In
the folder "Music" you have the subfolders "Rock", "Pop" and "Classic". In the folder "Text" are the two
subfolders, "newspaper" and "love stories". Now press "Rec" repeatedly until you hear a short beep,
followed by the message "Internal Memory" or "External Memory". "Internal Memory" stands for the 12-
gigabyte memory of Milestone 312 Ace and "External Memory" stands for the SD memory card, which is
inserted into the Milestone. With "Rec" you can switch from one to the other type of memory and are then
in the root directory. To use the contents of your SD memory card, press the "Rec" button until you hear
the announcement "External Memory". You are now in the root directory of the external memory, the SD
card. Use the arrow keys to switch between the various folders "Music" and "Text". Now select the folder
"Text" and then press the "Mode" button to access the contents of the "Text" folder. Immersion in a deeper
level is confirmed by a "high-low" beep sequence. Milestone reads the folder names in alphabetical order,
in our case, first "Love stories". If you now press "mode" again, you are in the folder "Love stories" and can
select the desired text document with the arrow keys.
Tip: When a folder contains many files or subfolders, you have the option to go directly to the first or last
position. Press and hold the "Right arrow" and at the same time, press the "Play" button to reach the last
item in that folder. With the "Left arrow" and "Play" you reach the first position in the folder.
4.1.1.2. Delete files and folders with M312 Ace
M312 Ace allows you to directly delete files and folders without connecting to a computer. The following
options are available to you for this purpose:
To delete a file:
Play the file you wish to delete. Press and hold the "Mode" button during playback and then press the
"Play" button. When you release the two keys, the file is deleted. This can only be canceled during
playback or up to 10 seconds thereafter.
To delete all files in a particular direction:
To delete all the files in one direction, simultaneously press the "Mode", "Play" and one of the two arrow
keys three keys. This combination must be held down for at least two seconds. The deletion of all files will
then be executed in the direction indicated by the arrow key, including the file in which you are currently
located. A long beep sounds at the beginning of the deletion and is followed by a short one once the files
have been removed.
Warning: This function is only available in pause mode.
Deleting a folder:
Select the folder you want to delete. Press and hold the "Mode" button and press the "Play" button. After 3
seconds Tap again on "Play". Then release the "mode" key. The deletion process for folders with extensive
content may take a few seconds. This process is signaled by a ticking sound.
4.1.1.3. Setting up a shortcut to a folder
M312 Ace allows you quick access to frequently used folders. You can select up to five arbitrary folders
directly with a key combination, instead of having tonavigate laboriously through the entire folder
structure.
