brennan JB7 - USB Menu Operations

12
USB menu - Track to USB
Copies the currently playing track to the USB device
You can do this from the remote by pressing the rip but-
ton.
USB menu - Backup Music
Makes a backup copy of your music to a USB device.
The internal hard disk is a mechanical device like the en-
gine on a car and is subject to wear and breakdown. It
makes sense to make a backup of the music to save hav-
ing to reload the CDs in the event of a breakdown.
To backup the music you will need a USB hard drive for-
matted with FAT32 and with sufcient capacity. You can
nd how much space is used by the music on the internal
using Disk Stats in the Main menu.
Backup is time consuming but is incremental and is done
in the background. That means you can listen to music
while doing a backup. It also means you can interrupt a
backup - press and hold the play/stop key - and restart it
later.
Incidentally if you buy a second JB7 for another room in
your home then you can use the backup to load the sec-
ond JB7 rather than reload all your CDs onto the second
system.
While the system is doing a backup (and not otherwise
engaged) it displays the number of tracks backed-up and
the percentage through the current track.
USB menu - Restore Music
This recovers music from a backup USB hard drive.
Just like the backup - restore is time consuming, incremen-
tal and done in the background.
You may notice that when you attach a backup disk to the
USB port that JB7 will allow you to search and play music
from the backup disk.
USB menu - USB Directory
This option determines the target directory for tracks
transferred to the USB device.
Some mobile telephones will only play MP3 les in a spe-
cic directory. This function allows you to pick a suitable
directory or enter a user dened directory.
For many simple MP3 players the root directory is OK.
2 Root
USB Destination directory
Target directory for
transfers to USB
The options are
Automatic1. - JB7 decides on the directory
Root2. - the top level directory of the USB device
MP33.

tory
music5.
other6.
Choose the other option if you need to dene a different
directory. You will then be allowed to edit the user dened
target directory.
dir/subdir_
Enter text using remote
Separate directories with a
slash (1 key on remote)
Text editing is described in Track rename but you will need
the remote to enter a slash between directories for a nest-
ed target directory.
You cannot enter slash from the front panel.
USB menu - Playlist to USB
This option transfers all the tracks on the selected playlist
to the USB device.
See the description of the Track to USB function about the
target directory.
USB menu - Export Names
This function creates a le on the USB device called “jb7
catalogue”. The le contains the names of all the albums
and tracks stored on the JB7.
