COPYING MUSIC FROM AUDIO CDs
In addition to loading music from your computer to the DDS, you can copy music from your audio CDs directly to the
DDS.
1. Insert your disc into the DDS’s CD/DVD Drive or an external drive, such as a USB CD drive.
2. Once the disc is read by the DDS, press the Library button.
3. Use the Menu Buttons to select the drive with the track(s) you want to copy. If you inserted your disc into
the DDS’s CD/DVD drive, select CD/DVD. If you are using an external drive, select the appropriate option
from the Menu Bar.
4. Use the Push Select knob to choose what track(s)
to copy:
 To copy one track
at a time: select “Track.”
 To copy the entire album
: select “Album.”
Note: An audio file will be copied as a WAV format
file as if you were ripping a track from a disc to your
computer. (Note that WAV files are significantly
larger than AAC or MP3 files.) You can edit the
tags of the track or album before copying, but once
it is copied, you will no longer be able to edit it in
the DDS itself. If you want to edit these tags after
copying them, you may use other software
programs. See TAGGING YOUR MUSIC for more
information.
5. When you have highlighted the track or album you
want to copy, press the Next (Right) Menu Button.
6. Select “Copy.”
7. Use the Push Select knob to highlight where you
want to copy the file. You may copy to the DDS
Hard Drive, or, if you have other storage devices
connected to the DDS, you can copy to any of
them. They must contain a library and be a writable
format. You cannot copy to your source drive,
which will be notated with “(this device)” next to it.
8. Select “Copy” again to begin copying, or select
“Cancel” to return to the previous menu. You will
see the Progress Bar while the track or album is
copying. You can view or edit the tracks in the copy
queue by pressing the Utility button, selecting
“Copying” from the Menu Bar, and scrolling through
the copy queue with the Push Select knob.
Selecting “Remove” will remove a track from the
copy queue. Selecting “Cancel” will abort the
current copying process and clear the queue of all
tracks (a dialog box will ask you to confirm or cancel
this command).
9. Once the copying process is complete, you can
access your tracks within the appropriate destination drive. Any copied tracks can be accessed in the Files
Browse List as well as in the available Library Browse Lists (e.g. Track, Artist, Genre, etc.).
