Copy from a CD

To create playlists to use in BeoPlayer and BeoMedia 1, you must copy music to your PC beforehand.  To be able to copy directly to BeoMedia 1, you must check the setting ‘Copy to BeoMedia 1’ under the ‘CD Copying’ tab in the CONFIG menus.

Before you copy from an audio CD, be sure to specify your copy settings. This is done in the CONFIG menus, which you find via the SETUP option on the control bar.
Refer to 'Configure for copying audio CD's'.

Before you copy from a CD...
Place the CD in the CD-rom drive and click ‘PC CD’.
BeoPlayer/BeoPort use your Internet connection to connect to AMG in order to receive information about the CD tracks.

To copy...

Click PC CD again, or move your mouse to the left side of the screen, to access the PC CD list.

Click the COPY button located in the lower left side. Drag and drop the entire album to the list of Folders or click NEW FOLDER to create a folder and drag and drop single tracks.

BeoPlayer/BeoPort starts copying while the music being copied is playing...
In the destination view you can follow the copying progress indicated by a red line under the track

If your destination view is closed, you can follow the progress of your copying under the COPY button. Progress is indicated by a red line. Furthermore, you can follow the copying progress in the control bar display.
Once a track is copied, it is stored as an WMA file. Click to play your stored tracks.

You can use the control bar while copying. However, your copy will be disrupted if you exit BeoPlayer/BeoPort completely.

BeoPlayer/BeoPort uses your Internet connection to download CD information from the AMG service. To receive AMG information, you must register BeoPlayer and enable the function in the Configuration menu and your PC must be online.

If there is no Internet or AMG connection available after approximately 10 seconds, your tracks will simply be registered as 'unknown'.

Copy Music to your portable devices

To copy tracks directly from N.MUSIC in BeoPlayer to BeoSound 2, your BeoSound 2 must be placed on its base and BeoSound 6 and Serenata must be connected via the USB cable. On Serenata use MTP mode. Consult your Serenata Guide for more information on how to use phone settings.

N.MUSIC must be selected. Note that you cannot operate your portable devices and copy music at the same time. If you wish to copy files after having started playback in BeoPlayer, disconnect BeoSound 2 from the base and then reconnect it. Alternatively, press and hold GO for 3 seconds. You can use the Playback feature and copy music at the same time on BeoSound 6 and your music phone.

In the N.MUSIC lists…

  • Click COPY to access your portable device. The content on your device appears, which gives you an overview of the music already stored. Above the list of your device is a storage capacity indicator, which shows the remaining storage space.
  • To copy tracks from your playlists to your device, simply click and drag a track or album to your portable device using playlist view on the device. The track or album immediately appears on your device and an indicator below the track shows the status of the copying progress as shown below.

    Note that you must wait for the progress indicator to be filled out completely, before your copy is finished.

    Note you can use other BeoPlayer functions while your tracks are copied, as long as you stay in N.MUSIC.

     

  • To cancel a copy, select the track or album in your device and delete it by dragging it into the 'trash icon'. A copy will also be cancelled if you exit BeoPlayer/BeoPort completely, or if you unplug your device.

While you copy, you can hide the N.MUSIC view and follow the progress of your copying on the control bar in the right side of the screen. You can use the control bar while copying.


Album covers

This feature makes it easier and more visible to browse music on both BeoSound 6 and Serenata. Once you have scanned your PC for music, you bring up Album view and if no cover appears, you can add a photo from your private photo collection, which will function as your cover.

Left click on the photo, drag and drop it on album or one of the tracks. All songs in the album will be allocated that cover. You can also add individual covers to tracks, which is done in Titles view – drag and drop as described above. Once that is done, you can transfer album or tracks to your portable device which will contain the covers added.

When you insert a CD and choose PC CD, BeoPlayer will add a cover automatically.

Note that viewing album and track cover differs depending on the view you choose in BeoPlayer. In PC CD mode, you can also update cover and music info at the same time. On the control bar click INFO to activate info window.

NOTE: To access covers via BeoPortal you must register you BeoPlayer online (www.bang-olufsen.dk)
