Transferring music to Shanling M5s
MICRO SD CARD
M5s has no build in memory. To play music, Micro SD card is needed (purchase separately)
M5s currently supports Micro SD cards with capacity up to 2TB (theoretical).
Micro SD card should be formatted to one of following formats:
• FAT32
• EXFAT
• NTFS
Considering size of DSD files, we recommend to avoid using FAT32 and choose EXFAT or NTFS
instead.
INSERTING AND REMOVING CARD FROM M5S
To insert card, open card slot on left side of M5s. Insert card slowly, with contacts of the card
going in first and facing up, to the display. Press card in until you hear click. If done correctly, M5s
will show message “TF card inserted”.
To remove card, slightly push on the card to unlock it from its position and then let the inner
spring push it out.
TRANSFERRING AUDIO FILES TO CARD FROM COMPUTER
Fastest way to transfer bigger quantity of files to Micro SD card is to take card out of M5s and use
dedicated card reader, either external reader or one build-in into computer.
Alternatively, you can connect M5s to your computer with provided USB cable, while keeping
Micro SD card inside M5s. Card’s memory will be displayed as new external drive, to which you
can easily copy and paste all folders with audio files.
When M5s connects to computer in file transfer mode, it will display symbol of Micro SD card and
“USB connected”. To end connection, click on “return” icon.
Note: USB Mode must be set to “USB”.
