Devices & File Analysis
Prime 4 can play music files from USB drives, SD cards, or other connected Prime 4 units. Make sure you are using only
the supported file systems (for USB drives or SD cards) and file formats (for music files) listed below.
Supported file systems: exFAT, FAT32 (recommended)
Supported file formats: AAC/M4A
Although Prime 4 can play tracks that have not been analyzed yet, pre-analyzing them allows its features to work
most effectively. You can analyze tracks in one of two ways:
•
On Prime 4, load the track: When you load a track to play, Prime 4 will automatically analyze it (if it has not
already been analyzed). This may take a moment to complete, depending on the length of the track. You can
start playing the track from the beginning immediately, though you will need to wait a moment for the
analysis to finish.
•
Use Engine Prime software: The included Engine Prime software can pre-analyze your music library to use
with Prime 4. You can also use it to organize your library by creating crates and playlists. It also manages
your Prime 4 hardware preferences (see

To eject a USB drive or SD card:
1. Make sure none of its tracks are being played on any connected Prime 4 units.
Ejecting a device unloads its tracks from all networked Prime 4 units.
2. Press Eject. A list of connected devices will appear in the main display.
3. Tap the eject icon for the device you would like to eject. If a track on the
device is currently playing, you will be asked if you want to continue ejecting,
which will stop the track and clear the deck. Tap Cancel to cancel ejecting the
device, or tap Eject Anyway to eject it.
To eject additional devices, repeat Step 3.
To return to the previous screen, press Eject again, or tap the X in the
upper-right corner.
