Step 2: Download Music Information and album cover icons into the Music Library
You probably already have a collection of audio files on your PC. The MusicInfo Wizard
will help you get the most out of your TerraPlayer by refining your existing digital audio
files for use on the TerraTouch OS touchscreen.
Important! For the MusicInfo Wizard to work you need an active, high-speed Internet
connection. It is recommended that you back up your digital audio files before running
this wizard
When you run through the MusicInfo Wizard, it will:
¾ Search the computer(s) for digital audio files stored in shared folders.
¾ Download Music Information (ID3 tags) for each selected digital audio file from
an Internet data source, if information is available.
¾ Allow you to see Music Information for each song, so you can review for
errors/corrections or create your own.
¾ Download any available album cover icons for each selected digital audio file.
¾ Store the Music Information and album cover icons in the Music Library, so
they will appear in the TerraTouch OS touchscreen.
This is the easiest way to get those album cover icons into your TerraPlayer.
However, the amount of time the MusicInfo Wizard takes depends on the number of
digital audio files you have and the speed of your Internet connection. If you have a large
collection of digital audio files, you may wish to stage this process, selecting only a small
number of digital audio files over several different runs. Or if you want to work with a
large collection in one fell swoop, you may wish to run the wizard overnight and check
up on it in the morning. A very large collection may take a couple hours, so you may
want to decide ahead of time to do the whole thing at once or in stages.
) For instructions on running the MusicInfo Wizard, refer to The Easy Way—Updating
Music Information with the MusicInfo Wizard on page 99.
MusicInfo uses Gracenote CDDB Services to download Music Information, and Loudeye
to download album covers.
Step 3: Run the Utility Suite Librarian to set up AM/FM radio station call letters (TR-100 only)
The TR-100 automatically scans for AM/FM radio stations and creates a default icon for
every frequency it finds. However, the default icons only identify the frequency, and not
the radio stations’ call letters (for example. WKRP, WJNK). You can use the
TerraPlayer Utility Suite’s Librarian to locate the radio station call letters your
geographic location, and add those to the icons on the touchscreen.
Note: The first time you run the Librarian Utility, you may receive a message saying that the
Music Library and the Base Transceiver need to be synchronized. If you receive this
message, then the first access of the Librarian Utility has works to synchronize the two.
You must close the Librarian Utility and run it again.

AM/FM Radio Station Display Names with Local Call Letters on page 81.
