With the introduction of a 2TB internal hard disk the HDX can store and play music files
created or downloaded from external sources in addition to files locally ripped from
CDs. To enable external file storage, a folder called "Downloads" is located on the HDX
internal hard disk. The folder can be accessed and files copied to it using Windows
Explorer or OS X Finder folder browsing. The following paragraphs describe access and
use of the HDX Downloads folder.
Note: Internal storage of external data is only available on units fitted with a 2TB internal hard
disk.

To locate the Downloads folder browse to the HDX hard
disk by using Windows explorer or OS X Finder. An example
of this from Windows 7 is illustrated below.
The HDX network name in the address bar (NSHDXDF52
in the example above) should specify the network name
of your HDX. This can be found via the HDX System Status
menu (See Section 4.8.8). Browsing to the HDX reveals two
folders: Music and Downloads.
The Downloads folder is a free storage space, located on
the same hard disk as the Music folder that contains the
files created by the HDX from ripped CDs. The Music folder
should always remain unmodified.
Music files (or other files) may be copied to the Downloads
folder. Sub-folders may also be created within the
Downloads folder if desired. The HDX will treat the
Downloads folder as a
scan and list all the music files that it finds (and can play).
See section 7.2 for further information on Network Shares.
Note:
To ensure reliable operation, at least 4GB of free
space should always be maintained on the HDX internal
hard disk. Hard disk free space can be checked via the
HDX System Status menu.
Note: Temporary disturbance of audio reproduction may
occur (from local output or UPnP™) when simultaneously
copying large volumes of data to the HDX hard disk over
the network.
