Synchronising­music­and­text­files
The player supports music files that have been synchronised
with corresponding music text (LRC files). In this way you have
the music playback via the earphones and simultaneously the
synchronous text playback on the display.
Notes:
If you wish to create LRC files, use a program such as the
­ ■
freely-available Song Edit program.
Make sure that the text and music files are in the same
­ ■
folder and that their names correspond to each other. If
not, then the player cannot recognise the text file.
