Importing Music
Audio-CD Import
You can import your CD collection into the Mediacenter and then conveniently
access it
.
• First make the settings as described on page 33. If you want to import
several audio CDs one after another, it is useful to set the option CD Insert
to Import and Eject.
• In the submenu CD Import - Encoder select the format to be used for
music coding:
MP3: Most frequently used format for loss-prone compression.
In the submenu Bitrate you can set the bitrate for coding the music. Higher
bitrates provide a higher audio quality and at the same time require larger
storage space. 192kBit/s is good compromise.
FLAC: Format for lossless compression. This format provides a good com-
promise between the audio quality and storage space requirement.
WAV: Format for lossless coding without compression. Due to best audio
quality this format requires maximum storage space.
• Insert the CD (page 32). If you have set the option CD Insert to Import
and Eject, the import process starts automatically. Otherwise, start the
import manually.
Call up Main Menu.
Select option DVD/CD player.

Select option Import.
Confirm OK.
The CD Import menu is displayed.
If required, set the option Select/Unselect Tracks only
to import specific track.
Press OK to tick mark the title that you wish to import.

Copying Music to Harddisk
You can copy your existing music collection (supported file formats page 54) on to
the Mediacenter and access it conveniently from there
.
• Ensure that your computer is connected to the same home network as your
Mediacenter and start the File Manager.
Under “Network environment“, you will find your Mediacenter under the
name specified by you in the Mediacenter network name option
(page 22). The name set per default is <Mediacenter>.
• Open the directory Import on <Mediacenter>.
• With the File Manager, copy the desired music into the directory Import on
<Mediacenter>.
• Your Mediacenter automatically recognises that new music files are avail-
able in the import folder and indexes them.
An appropriate message is displayed at the bottom of the screen. This proc-
ess may take some time depending upon the amount of data. Please wait
until the process is complete.
• After the completion of the import process, the new albums/titles are avail-
able for selection in the Music menu.
• In order to secure the music that is saved on the hard disc of the Mediacent-
er, copy the content of the Content folder on <Mediacenter> to your PC.
