Creating files for your jukebox

Before you connect your jukebox to your computer, you should have some
digital music and photo files ready on the computer. After files are ready,
you can copy them to your jukebox.

To create digital music files, you need to either copy (rip) them from
a CD or buy them from an online digital music service, such as
Napster. For more information, see “Ripping music files” on page 36
or “Buying digital music files” on page 39.

To create digital photos, you must either take them with a digital
camera and transfer the files to your computer or scan photographic
prints and negatives using a scanner. For more information, see your
camera’s or scanner’s documentation.
