2.8. Connect Milestone 212 with your computer
Before you can listen to a book or music you have to load it on Milestoneʻs SD memory
card. Therefore, connect Milestone 212 physically to your PC, via the provided USB cable,
as described under "USB connection to the computer" in this manual. If an SD memory
card is plugged into Milestone it appears as drive on your PC in the same way as an USB
memory stick. On this drive you can store your books, music et cetera. When you have
finished the transfer, disconnect the SD card drive properly from your computer, as you
would also do with an USB stick.
2.8.1. Copy a book to the SD memory card
To make a book available in the application "Books" you have to copy it to the SD memory
card plugged into your Milestone 212. Please store each book in a separate folder on the
SD memory card. This helps you to organize your books properly because a book often
contains up to hundreds or even thousands of files. You can store the folder with your
book wherever you want on the SD memory card. Of course you can use sub-folders.
2.8.2. Copy Audio content to the SD memory card
In the application "Audio" you can listen to your music or even read text files. Therefore
you have to copy music or text files to the SD memory card in your Milestone 212. You can
copy the files to the root directory of the SD memory card or if required, store the files in a
folder or even in a subfolder.
Audio plays music files in the format MP3, AAC, WMA or WAV and text files in TXT. These
files you can copy directly to the SD memory card.
However, a commercial music album on CD you have to convert first into one of the
mentioned formats before you can play it with Milestone 212. When you insert the CD into
your computer it creates its own format which is not directly usable with Milestone. That is
why you have to download the CD first with a program such as Windows Media Player,
CDex et cetera. This is the usual process to save music CDs on the computer. The
mentioned programs convert music tracks into a selectable reduced size format.
Hint: A folder you can compare with a drawer and subfolders are like drawers in a drawer.
You can use the folders to store and organize your data. With your computer you can
create and name folders on your SD memory card. Milestone 212 reads the name of
folders. That helps you navigating through your folder structure.
Attention: Please be aware that protected content, for example music purchased over
internet, cannot be played on Milestone 212.
2.8.3. Erasing via computer
Besides simple delete functions directly on Milestone 212, you can also delete files via
your computer. Operate as usual when you delete a file or several files on your computer.
Attention: If you delete files on your M212 via a Mac computer, you have to empty the
trash bin afterwards. Otherwise the files are not really removed, but only the link to the files
is erased.
