RIP/ENCODE CONTROL PANEL

The M50 transport can rip directly a loaded CD to a connected M52 Digital
Music Vault or USB mass storage device. Using NAD' s own music management
software, ripping is completely automatic. With a network connection to
the Internet, this music management software fetches metadata and cover
art, without the need for a computer! Everything is organized and instantly
available for playback. You can browse your music collection using album art or
category listing and easily create playlists on the fly.
IMPORTANT!
"Rip/Encode Control Panel" will manifest in the "Configure Player" menu
window only if there is a USB mass storage device or a M52 connected
to M50's rear panel USB 2 input . In the absence of such interconnection,
the "Rip/Encode Control Panel" option will not be available in the
"Configure Player" menu.
The following Rip/Encode Control Panel options allow you to setup and
monitor the music CDs being backed up.
