Using Media Sync

You can use either a FreeAgent Go™ portable drive that comes packaged with the media
player or one that you've purchased separately. The drive that comes with the media player
does not contain any software. The drive purchased separately contains its own software,
which includes a different Sync feature. There is no conflict between FreeAgent Theater
Media Sync and FreeAgent Go Sync, but only Media Sync is designed to find media files on
your computer and sync them with external drives.
Whenever you connect an external storage device to your computer, the media folders on the
computer are copied to the media folders on your device to keep them synchronized. You can
sync the same folder on your computer with multiple external drives, one at a time. You can
also use one external drive to sync folders on multiple computers.
There are two sync options:
Simple Sync
Sync media files in XP My Documents folder or Vista Personal folder
Sync all media file types
Sync automatically

Using Simple Sync

Simple Sync is pre-configured to automatically sync all compatible media files in your XP My
Documents or Vista Personal Folder folder. Newer file versions always overwrite older
versions.
• In the Media Sync window, click Simple Sync.
The Simple Sync Confirmation window opens.
Your XP My Documents folder or Vista Personal Folder folder is now synchronized with
your FreeAgent drive.

Using Custom Sync

Custom Sync allows you to select specific folders and media file types for synchronization
and to choose sync settings.
1. In the Media Sync window, click Custom Sync.
The Folder Selection window opens.
2. Select the folders to be synchronized.
