Saber Hand Wind Audio Player - Maintenance Guide
3.2 Audio file preparation: How to download, and setup playback of
audio files
The player uses onboard internal memory and SD Cards to store the audio files that will be played.
It is important that the audio files are played back in the correct order, and that the next file and
previous folder buttons work as desired.
To achieve the correct sequencing of the files, it is necessary to remove the mp3 tag “title”, and
place the files in sequential order. The recommended naming convention is explained below.
It is recommended that the SaberCopy utility is used where possible, as this will assist with
following the correct naming conventions, placing the audio files in the correct sequence, and
removes the mp3 tag “title”. This utility is explained further below in section 3.2.3.
3.2.1 Manual Audio folder and file management
The player uses 2 levels, folders and files, to manage the audio files, where the first 6 characters are
significant. It is important that these characters are used to place the files in the correct sequence so
that the files are played in the correct order.
Manual MP3 tag removal
Every mp3 audio file has the ability to contain “tags” embedded into the file. These tags are often
useful to allow author and copyright information to be associated with the audio file for easy
reference. Our player however needs the ID3 “Title” tag removed from each mp3 file, otherwise the
play order of the audio files will be incorrect.
There are different ways of editing mp3 audio file tags. It is possible inside the Windows XP and
Vista operating systems to right click on the file, select “Properties”, select “Summary” tab, select
“Advanced >>” and change the Title description. There is general software that will assist with this
process, an example being

Manual Folder naming format
It is recommended that the folders use the following standard
“001000_name of folder” where the first 3 digits “001” is the
folder name and “000_” is placed after the last digit. The
folders are then sorted by these digits so folder 001000_ will
be the first folder, and 002000_ will be the second folder
played.
Manual File format
It is recommended that the file naming format is:
“001001_name of file” where the first “001” is the folder
number, and the second “001_” is the file number order in
that folder. The “_” is placed after the last digit.
Files will then play in the order of the number given. Example
001001_ file will be played, and then file 001002_ will be
played.
