Organizing audio files on microSD card using a computer (for Windows OS) The microSD card player plays files according to the order in which they were being copied^. To retain the order of the audio files that are transferred from your computer to your microSD card, we recommend that you follow these steps below. 1. Organize the audio files in a folder in the order that you would like them to appear on the microSD card. Close the folder. 2. Reopen the folder and click on an empty space in the window to ensure that no file is being selected. 3. Press (Ctrl + A) to select all the files in that folder. 4. Copy them (Ctrl + C) and paste them (Ctrl + V) to your microSD card. This ensures your files are copied to the microSD card in your desired order. NOTE: After opening the folder in step 2, we recommend that you do not click on any file. This is because the Windows operating system will reproduce the files in the destination folder beginning with the file that you have first clicked, which may lead to confusion. Drag and drop file / folder has similar complications. The file transfer behavior on other operating systems or media players may differ. To ensure your files are played back in a particular sequence, transfer the files one by one in the desired order. ^ The order of music playback is based on the order of the first file copied into the microSD card. 4 Recording audio* You can record audio from the speaker or using the built in microphone. * Feature only works when a microSD card is inserted into the speaker To record from the microphone REC Simply slide the slider switch to the Mic On position and press the Record button to record.
