Find music on the computer
To create playlists in BeoPlayer, music must be available on your
computer. Scan your computer for music already present, or
copy from your audio CDs.
When you start the BeoPlayer source N.MUSIC for the first
time, you are prompted to search the computer for playable
content.
Scan for music on the computer …
A scan must be performed the first time you use BeoPlayer, or
if you want to add a new storage drive.
> Click once to tick the box next to the drive.
> Click again to remove the tick.
> Click START to begin the scan.
Search for tracks if added to another drive …
> Click SETUP on the control bar when N.MUSIC is active.
> Click SCAN.
> Tick the box next to the relevant drive(s).
Progress is shown in red below the drive selection box.
> Click STOP to cancel a scan in progress.
> Click HIDE SCAN to conceal scan options.
Scans in progress will continue until they are complete. Before
you copy from an audio CD, be sure to specify your copy
settings. This is done in the ‘Configuration’ menu, under
SETUP on the control bar.
Refer to ‘Configuration of BeoPlayer’
for more information .
If your existing tracks contain information tags, such as ‘Artists’,
‘Albums’ or ‘Genre’, this information is stored during a scan.
Refer to ‘View and edit N.MUSIC, N.RADIO or PHOTO
information’ for more information
.
As default, N.MUSIC will always scan for music in the folder
called ‘My Music’ under ‘Documents and settings\user name’
and the drives you initially scanned, when you activated N.
MUSIC the first time. It is therefore necessary to scan your hard
disc again, if you store music on another drive or in a different
folder.
Make music available
BeoPlayer/BeoPort uses your Internet connection to
download CD information from BeoPortal. To receive
information from BeoPortal, you must register BeoPlayer and
enable the function in the ‘Configuration’ menu and your
computer must be online. If BeoPortal is not available after
approximately 10 seconds, your tracks will be registered as
‘unknown’.
