Transferring Audio Files to Your Lyra Recorder
You can transfer audio fi les to your Lyra Portable Multi-media Recorder via Yahoo! Music Engine, Windows Explorer, or
Windows Media Player 10.
Important: In order to transfer secure music fi les using Windows XP to your Lyra Recorder, you must
set the USB Protocol setting to MTP in the Setup menu before connecting your Lyra. The Lyra Recorder
doesn’t support copy-protected content if you are using Windows 2000. See page 23. Also, see page 55
for more information on USB protocols
If your Lyra Recorder isn’t already connected to your computer, connect it using the provided USB cable (go to page 14 for
information on connecting the USB cable). Don’t disconnect the USB cable during music download. Doing so may corrupt
system fi les or the fi les being downloaded. It is highly recommended that the Lyra Recorder be connected to the ROOT
USB PORT (the main USB port) on the PC or a self powered USB hub.
From Windows Explorer, open the Lyra Recorder drive. Open the drive where the fi les/folders you want to transfer are
located, and highlight them. Drag the fi les/folders to the
AUDIO
system folder on the Lyra Recorder drive.
Helpful hint:
You can also right click on your content in Windows Explorer and select Copy (or Ctrl + C).
Then from the AUDIO folder, right click and select Paste (or Ctrl + V) to add the copied content.
It is highly recommended that all supported audio fi les (mp3 or other formats) be stored in the
AUDIO
system folder to
allow for easy navigation and organization of the contents of the Lyra Recorder.
Note:
You must stop the USB connection before disconnecting the USB cable (go to page 17 for more
information on disconnecting the USB cable).
An SD/MMC memory card can also be used to transfer audio fi les.
If an SD/MMC
memory card is properly inserted, an additional drive is available through Windows Explorer
to transfer content onto. Please ensure the correct drive is being used when transferring
content from the device. Go to page 52 for more information on transferring fi les from the
SD/MMC memory card.
When all fi les have been transferred to the Lyra Recorder from the PC, you MUST re-profi le
the contents to ensure all content is properly sorted and recognized on the Lyra Recorder.
Eject the Lyra Recorder through the tray application (see page 17), then run the profi ler. In
the Setup menu, go to the Audio menu and select
Profi le
. Go to page 26 for more details on
the profi ler.
Transferring Predefi ned Audio Playlists to your Lyra Recorder
Predefi ned M3U audio playlists can be created on your PC using Yahoo! Music Engine (or any other music management
software that supports M3U audio playlist fi les). Refer to the help menu of your music management software for details.
Use Windows Explorer to transfer predefi ned playlists to your Lyra Recorder.
If your Lyra Recorder isn’t already connected to your computer, connect it using the provided mini-USB cable.
From Windows Explorer, highlight the predefi ned playlists that you have created in Yahoo! Music Engine and drag them to
the
AUDIO
folder located on the Lyra Recorder drive.
Helpful hint:
You can also right click on your content in Windows Explorer and select Copy (or Ctrl + C).
Then from the AUDIO folder, right click and select Paste (or Ctrl + Y) to add the copied content.

your playlist fi les.
Audio playlists fi les must use the .M3U fi les extension in order to be properly recognized by the device.
