Your NOMAD Jukebox Zen comes with a USB 2.0 cable for fast data transfers to and from your computer. Be sure that you have installed PlayCenter before connecting your player. After you have connected your player to your computer, go through the Interactive Tutorial found on your Installation CD! Getting Started 2-4 TRANSFERRING MUSIC Audio selections have been preloaded to the Playing List to get you started quickly. If you wish to listen to music immediately, simply press the PLAY button You can listen to your player's preloaded music immediately by pressing the PLAY button. . However, if you wish to download additional music tracks to your player, you can either download music tracks from Internet music sites (see "Downloading from the internet" on page 2-6) or have them "ripped" from audio CDs to your computer. Music files must, however, be encoded into the supported formats (MP3, WMA or WAV file formats), then transferred to your player with the Creative PlayCenter application. Data files can also be transferred and stored in your player. 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. Basic instructions on how to use PlayCenter are provided in "Using Playcenter" on page 42. Basic instructions on how to use File Manager are provided in "Using File Manager" on page 4-10. Getting Started 2-5 Downloading from the Internet To get MP3 files from the Internet, use a search engine to locate sites with MP3 content. You can also try out these sites (websites listed here are correct at the time of this document's release): NOMADWorld http://www.NOMADworld.com AMP3.com http://www.amp3.com It is illegal to encode MP3 files for trade or sale unless you have the express or explicit permission of the copyright holder(s). SoundClick.com http://www.soundclick.com ArtistOne.com http://www.artistone.com Epitonic.com http://www.epitonic.com Soundbuzz.com http://www.soundbuzz.com Follow the instructions on the site and download the music files to your computer. Ripping from a CD The first phase in making an MP3 file is extracting audio data from an audio CD. To extract audio data, you will need a CD-ROM drive that can extract digital audio data, and a program known as a Ripper. With Creative PlayCenter, you can rip tracks from most audio CDs. This program uses the CD-ROM drive to read the audio tracks from the audio CD and stores it on your hard disk. The time needed for a successful audio extraction depends on: CD-ROM drive speed defects, like scratches on the audio CD error-checking features on the CD-ROM drive Getting Started 2-6 Encoding is the second phase of making an MP3 file. Encoders are used to convert the stored audio tracks, usually WAV files, into MP3 files. MP3 encoding is considered lossy compression, which means that some data is lost during compression. However, using the standard sampling rate and bitrates will ensure that your MP3 files retain much of their audio quality. The standard bitrate of most MP3 files is 128Kbps, although some are set higher, at 160 or 192Kbps. Higher bitrates will result in larger MP3 file sizes, with better audio quality. Use PlayCenter or to extract audio tracks and encode MP3s. See the PlayCenter Online Help for more information.
