Purchasing Music From On-line Music Stores

Using Windows Media Player 10

You can purchase music from on-line music sites that do not require their own application, but use Windows Media 10 as the software application to transfer music from your computer to your LDP-600.

Depending on the on-line music store, some will require you to download a plug-in for Windows Media 10. If the on-line music store requires a plug-in, download the plug-in and install it on your computer. The plug-in will upgrade the functionality of Windows Media Player to support music purchased from your on-line store.

Once you have downloaded and installed the plug-in, navigate to your on-line store by going to View, On-line Store. Select your on-line store.

Find and purchase the music that you want to buy.

• If you are an existing customer, you will need to log-in to your account and follow the steps to purchase your music.
• If you are a new customer, you will need to register and set up an account on the store.

Once you have purchased the music, navigate to Sync and click on Edit Playlist. Find the music that you want to copy to your LDP-600. Once you have found your music, double click on it and it will be part of the Sync List.

Once you find all of the music that you want to copy, click on Start Sync. Windows Media 10 will copy the highlighted music to the LDP-600. Disconnect the LDP-600 from your computer.

Here are some of the on-line music retailers that offer support for Windows Media 10:

• www.napster.com
• www.musicmatch.com
  www.walmart.com
  www.msn.com

Using the On-Line Music Retailer's Application

Some retailers require you to use their application to transfer purchased music from your computer to the LDP-600.

Go to the retailer's Web site and download their application. Install their application and register as a customer. Select and purchase the music that you want.

Connect your Lexar LDP-600 to your computer. The LDP-600 will show up as a portable device. Select the music files that you want to copy to your LDP-600. Drag and drop the files to the player.

The on-line music store's application will then transfer your music files from your PC to the LDP-600.
