Importing New Files; Importing And Converting Files - TTS Easi-Ears User Manual

Importing New Files

There are various tools provided within the software to enable you to import sounds, voice and music
from a variety of sources into your Library, e.g. you may have purchased some books that have an
audio CD or you want to record your own story. All files to be used on the Easi-Ears devices must be in
MP3 format, so these tools will automatically convert the files for you to MP3 if necessary.
The options available are:
1. Import MP3 files from outside the Library
2. Convert WAV, WMA and other sound formats into MP3
3. Record sounds directly from a microphone or line-in socket and these sounds will be
automatically converted to MP3
4. Rip tracks from an audio CD
To access any of these functions, click the "Import Tools" button on the main screen. Note that
some of the functions may have been disabled by the teacher from within the "Teacher Menu".

Importing and Converting Files

Many audio files are stored in a format such as WAV or WMA. These files need to be converted to
MP3 format to enable the Easi-Ears to play them. The importing function will automatically convert
any file into MP3 if necessary, before importing into the Library. To do this:
• Click the "Tools" button
• Select the "Import" Source Files option as shown in Fig 8
• Select the files that you want to import/convert
• Select the destination folder
• Click the "Start" button
• All files that you have selected will be copied to the destination folder and converted to MP3
format if necessary
