iTunes.
Any ripping software that will convert the songs into WAV or MP3 format should
work.
NOTE:
Digital Rights Management (DRM) protected music, such as music purchased
from the iTunes
™
music store, is not readable by the Streaming Music
Manager.
Every tool has different options for naming the ripped tracks. Do not store the Artist
name in the song title. The resulting filename is too long to be properly displayed on
the TouchLinX.
General Guidelines for Ripping Music
The following are a few general tips on ripping music:
Select the highest recording quality available.
Store music using the artist/album folder hierarchy (Figure 15-13 displays this
hierarchy).
Configure your ripping software to include only the Track name in the filename.
This makes it easier to display the song title on the TouchLinX.
