transfer them to the HDD AUDIO PLAYER.
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER utilizes music information about the album name, album artist name,
album art image, track name, track artist name, track number and track genre from each music
file.
The method of embedding music information differs depending on the music file management
software or tag editing software.
Music information is classified on the list screen of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER as follows.
Genres: Displays the track genre in [Genres].
Artists: Displays the track artist name in [Artists].
Albums: Displays information composed of the album name and album artist name in
[Albums].
Tracks: Displays the track name in [Tracks].
Note
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER must be connected to the Internet to analyze music files and
access the Gracenote server to obtain music information.
WAV files generally do not contain ID3 tag information. When a music file does not contain
ID3 tag information, that file is registered in [Unknown Genre], [Unknown Artist], [Unknown
Album] and [Tracks] with its file name. However, if the music information can be analyzed
and obtained from the Gracenote database, that file is re-registered to Genres, Artists,
Albums and Tracks.
The correct music information may not be obtained for some files due to the type of music
file.
Text encoding information may be dropped out while the music file management software is
embedding music information. In despite of automatic detection of the text encoding type
attempted by the HDD AUDIO PLAYER, the music information may not be correctly
displayed. In such a case, check your music file management software settings, or change
the text encoding type by selecting [Settings] - [System Settings] - [Text encoding] and copy
the file again.
Some music file management software only manages the music information in the database
on your computer and does not embed any music information to the music files. In other
cases, some music file management software embeds part of the music information to the
music files.
The method of embedding music information differs depending on the music file format in
some music file management software.
Some music file management software uses a different method from the HDD AUDIO
PLAYER to construct an album from multiple tracks.
