IMPORT HDD
The Import HDD page provides an interface to allow importation of music files specifically from an
external hard drive that has been loaded by a music encoding service (ReadyToPlay). A music encod-
ing service takes a collection of music CDs and loads them onto an external hard drive in formats
supported by the SMS3. The resulting music files and metadata are now ready to be loaded on the SMS3.
To import files from an external hard drive that has been loaded by a music encoding service
(ReadyToPlay), select Import HDD and connect the drive to the SMS3. Power the drive on, and select
Continue. On the next screen, press Start Import when ready. This process takes about 15 minutes
per gigabyte of data on the disk. Note: The external hard drive must stay powered and connected
during the import process. If interrupted, the importation does not pick up where it left off, but must
be manually restarted from the beginning.
