A full 300 GB backup could take 2.5 days to complete using a standard 10/100 baseT
Ethernet network. It is not recommended that you use your MS300 to play music while a
backup is in progress as this will cause the backup to take longer to complete.
MS300 Music Restore
You can restore music to the MS300 using the same method used for importing audio
files into the MS300. Restore and Import both use the CIFS Networking feature to add
audio files to the MS300. Simply drag your music files to the Import directory and let the
MS300 import the audio files.
Note: This may take several days for a large music collection!
Upon Import, the MS300 will rebuild the internal database based on the music file’s ID3
tag information.
About ID3 Tags
All MP3 and FLAC files should have the proper ID3 tags in each file in order for the
MS300 to properly add each music file to its internal Library.
The following ID3 tag formats are supported by the MS300:
• ID3v1.0
• ID3v1.1
• ID3v2.2.0
• ID3v2.3.0
Use an MP3 Tag Editor (such as iTunes) to change the ID3 tags to a supported format
before importing into the MS300. If your MP3 files originated from your MS300, they
already have the proper ID tags.
Cover art will be imported into the MS300 as long as the cover image is properly
embedded into the ID3 tag. Again, use an MP3 Tag Editor on your computer to add cover
art images to each MP3 file prior to importing.
