Locating Your Contents on the Drive

There are two ways of locating a particular media file depending on whether or not the media library compilation function is enabled.

You can manually search for a media file by navigating to the specific media section and browsing through the available file folders. This method is recommended if there are only a limited number of files to search through. Otherwise, it is better to enable the media library compilation and use the built-in Search function.

Use the navigation buttons to move around a particular folder; press ← to move between folders.

Playing music from your iPod®

Apple ^® uses a proprietary naming scheme and because of this the media player is unable to display the original names for the folders and files as they are in your iPod. The media player instead reassigns new names for the folders and files, but only while in use with the media player. The original file information is preserved in your iPod. You can view the original file information when you play a file where the screen will display the metadata.

Note: The media player does not support playback of protected premium content such as movies or music from the iTunes ^® Store, Cinema Now, Movielink ^® , Amazon Unbox ^™ , and Vongo ^® .

To use your iPod with the media player, simply plug your iPod in to the USB port and navigate through the interface menu.

Note: The media player only supports USB mass storage mode. iPod Touch is not a USB mass storage device and is therefore not supported.

  • A Pandora station cannot play more than four songs by an artist in a three-hour period.
    After eight hours of play, Pandora prompts you to see if you're still listening. Streaming stops until you respond.
  • The music selection streamed into your Pandora station contains a mix of songs or artists that were compiled based on:
  • the initial station "seed" used in creating that station. Go to the next section for instructions on how to create a new Pandora station.
  • the track feedback (thumbs up / thumbs down) you provide. Go to page 95 for more information.

Providing Song Feedback

You can influence the music selection that is streamed into your Pandora station by providing track feedback for the song currently playing. You can give a song a “thumbs up” or a “thumbs down” vote.

Thumbs up

If you like the currently playing song, give it a thumbs up vote. This positive feedback means:

  • The very next set of songs for this station will be generated using the song you've given a "thumbs up" vote to as a musical starting point.
  • Future sets of songs are likely to have similar musical traits. Multiple "thumbs up" votes on this station for other similar songs will have a cumulative effect.
  • This song will play somewhat more often than other songs on this station's potential playlist, and will play about as often as other songs that have received a "thumbs up" on this station.

Thumbs down

If you don't want to hear a song on a particular station, give it a thumbs down vote. This negative feedback means:

  • The song will stop playing, if there are any of the remaining "six skips per hour" available on that particular station (this limit is per station, on a rolling per-hour basis).
  • The song will be permanently removed from that particular station's playlist.
  • A new set of songs with a different musical emphasis will begin to play.
  • If you’ve given at least two “thumbs down” vote to a specific artist on that particular station, songs from that artist will no longer be included in that station’s playlist.

To provide song feedback:

- While a song is playing, press ◀/▶ to select 👍 or ▼, then press ENTER.

- While a song is playing, press ◀/▶ to select ✗, then press ENTER.

Media Library

Media Library scans and consolidates the media contents of a USB drive into a database through which you can easily locate media files. This feature is on by default.

The following conditions will prevent the Media Library from processing your media.

■ The USB device has read-only protection.
- There is not enough hard drive space on the USB device. Your media player needs some space to cache information, so that searches and scans are faster.

A note about metadata

Metadata is information about the data in a file that describes how, when, and by whom a particular set of data (video, music, photographic, or any other type of data) was collected, and how the data is formatted.

Not all files have metadata loaded. To add and edit metadata so that Media Library can aggregate the files properly, you can use one of several tools including:

  • Adobe® Bridge (part of the Adobe Creative Suite)
    ■ abcAVI Tag Editor (freeware)
    ■ XnView 1.93.2 (freeware)
    iTunes
  • Windows Media Player

Editing metadata

Editing metadata with iTunes:

  1. Open iTunes and click the song you want to edit.
  2. Open the File menu, then click Get Info.

A window opens, showing all of the information you can edit for the song that you selected. You can edit the song's:

Name
■ Artist
Year released
- Album name
- Composer
Track number
Genre

  1. When you are done, click OK. To edit the next song listed in your iTunes library, click Next.

Editing metadata with Windows Media Player:

  1. Open Windows Media Player.
  2. Click the Library tab.
  3. Right-click the title or other item to edit.
  4. When the menu opens, click Edit.

Converting the content into a usable format

There are several fast, easy-to-use applications available online that can convert photos, videos, and music files into formats optimized for use on your media player. The software also allows simultaneous conversion of multiple files in batches regardless of their original formats.

System Maintenance

The system software of your media player can be upgraded to the latest release, which can improve support for media file playback and includes bug fixes and product enhancements. To ensure that you receive the latest update, we recommend registering your product at https://www.wdc.com/register.

This chapter describes how to upgrade the system firmware and perform simple troubleshooting. If you encounter an error message, refer to the “Common Error Messages” on page 165 for possible corrective action.

Solutions to more serious problems may require contacting your dealer or an authorized service center for assistance. For more information, refer to “WD Service and Support” on page 2.

System Firmware Upgrade

Firmware is an important set of instructions that tells your media player how to operate, what the interactive screens look like, and how to do what you tell it to do. Upgrading the firmware is important because WD is always developing newer, faster, and more efficient ways of doing things that your media player needs to know.

Important: Make sure the media player's AC power adapter remains connected during the firmware update. A power disruption during the update process can corrupt the system firmware. Also, make sure that you do not unplug the USB storage device.

To update the firmware:

  1. Go to support.wdc.com and download the latest firmware update file for your USB storage.
  2. Click "Downloads," then the product name (or photo).
  3. Copy the firmware update file to a USB drive's root folder.
  4. Connect the USB drive to the media player's USB port.
  5. Press HOME, then select the Settings 🎨 bar.
  6. Select the firmware upgrade icon 📁, and then press ENTER.

Warranty Information

Obtaining Service

WD values your business and always attempts to provide you the very best of service. If this Product requires maintenance, either contact the dealer from whom you originally purchased the Product or visit our product support Web site at support.wdc.com for information on how to obtain service or a Return Material Authorization (RMA). If it is determined that the Product may be defective, you will be given an RMA number and instructions for Product return. An unauthorized return (i.e., one for which an RMA number has not been issued) will be returned to you at your expense. Authorized returns must be shipped in an approved shipping container, prepaid and insured, to the address provided on your return paperwork. Your original box and packaging materials should be kept for storing or shipping your WD product. To conclusively establish the period of warranty, check the warranty expiration (serial number required) via support.wdc.com. WD shall have no liability for lost data regardless of the cause, recovery of lost data, or data contained in any Product placed in its possession.

Limited Warranty

WD warrants that the Product, in the course of its normal use, will for the term defined below, be free from defects in material and workmanship and will conform to WD's specification therefor. The term of your limited warranty depends on the country in which your Product was purchased. The term of your limited warranty is for 1 year in the North, South and Central America region, 2 years in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa region, and 1 year in the Asia Pacific region, unless otherwise required by law. The term of your limited warranty period shall commence on the purchase date appearing on your purchase receipt. WD shall have no liability for any Product returned if WD determines that the Product was stolen from WD or that the asserted defect a) is not present, b) cannot reasonably be rectified because of damage occurring before WD receives the Product, or c) is attributable to misuse, improper installation, alteration (including removing or obliterating labels and opening or removing external enclosures, unless the product is on the list of limited user-serviceable products and the specific alteration is within the scope of the applicable instructions, as found at support.wdc.com), accident or mishandling while in the possession of someone other than WD. Subject to the limitations specified above, your sole and exclusive warranty shall be, during the period of warranty specified above and at WD's option, the repair or replacement of the Product. The foregoing warranty of WD shall extend to repaired or replaced Products for the balance of the applicable period of the original warranty or ninety (90) days from the date of shipment of a repaired or replaced Product, whichever is longer.

The foregoing limited warranty is WD's sole warranty and is applicable only to products sold as new. The remedies provided herein are in lieu of a) any and all other remedies and warranties, whether expressed, implied or statutory, including but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular

purpose, and b) any and all obligations and liabilities of WD for damages including, but not limited to accidental, consequential, or special damages, or any financial loss, lost profits or expenses, or lost data arising out of or in connection with the purchase, use, or performance of the Product, even if WD has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In the United States, some states do not allow exclusion or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
