Using The Software; Setting Up Library Files - TTS Easi-Ears User Manual

Using the Software

The Easi-Ears software has been purpose designed to work with Easi-Ears. It's
straightforward to use and enables you to add and remove tracks on the headphones
and remote control unit.
See p.4 for software installation and minimum system requirements.
The software will run without any devices (Easi-Ears headphones or the remote control
unit) attached to your PC. However, should you wish to upload or remove audio from
the headphones or remote control unit, these will need to be docked in the docking
station and the docking station plugged into your PC via USB connection.
Once installed, click on the icon on the desktop to open the software.
Alternatively go to Start | All Programs | TTS Group | Easi-Ears.
Initially, the "My Library" will contain a folder called "The New Playground" (a sample
audio book title from the Kids & Co series by Rising Stars), "My Playlist" will be empty
and all the devices will be greyed out and disabled as shown below.
You will note that the headphone panels
are colour coded to reflect the colours of
each of the headphones.
The idea is that you access MP3 files on
your PC through "My Library" and from
here then select files in "My Library" to
create individual play lists, by simply
dragging and dropping the files into the
"My Playlist" folder. From here, you can
then copy to all headsets or select specific
tracks for specific headphones.

Setting up Library Files

Before creating a library of useful stories or music, you should first set up the location of
your library files. From the main screen, press <Ctrl-T> (ie. press the "Ctrl" key and the
"T" key on your keyboard simultaneously). This will open the "Teacher Menu" that allows
you to change a variety of settings. You can password protect this menu if you want.
Select the folder that you want to use for your library and click "Done". This can be a
network folder to enable all users to access the same library of tracks.
