Playing Audio
To play audio, you must first transfer audio tracks in supported formats to your
player. These tracks, in MP3, WMA or WAV file formats, are also played back in your
player as "tracks" but may be further categorized into "albums", "artists" or
"genres".
Audio tracks can be "ripped" from audio CDs to your computer or downloaded from
Internet music sites such as those listed in "Where to get MP3 files" on page B-2.
They must, however, be encoded into the supported formats, then transferred to
your player with the Creative PlayCenter application.
Basic instructions on how to use PlayCenter are provided in "Using PlayCenter" on
page 4-2.
Data files can also be transferred and stored in your player, useful if, for example,
you want to transfer a large movie file from one computer to another. Data can be
transferred to your player with the Creative File Manager application, which is a
dedicated data file manager for your player.
