OPERATION
Make a note of the file name automatically generated by the DMC 1000 to
easily locate the recording later. The DMC 1000 also displays the elapsed
time, and a graphic and numeric display of the space available on the
hard-disc drive.
Select the Pause Recording option to pause the recording without starting
a new file when recording is resumed. This feature is useful if you wish to
record a series of audio tracks as one file while skipping breaks in between,
such as when recording an entire side of a cassette tape into one file.
Select the Stop Recording option to end recording of the file. The screen
shown in Figure 45 will appear.
Figure 45 – Recording Complete
Select Done if you are finished, or Record Next to record another track,
which returns to the screen shown in Figure 43, allowing you to cue up
the next track.
To locate the newly recorded tracks, view the Media Library by Track and
by Last Added. The track will be displayed at the top of the list. You may
also sort the Track view by Name, looking for tracks starting with “AUX.”
You may wish to view the Tracks by Artist, as all tracks with artist “Unknown”
will be listed first, and the recordings will appear here.
Select the Edit Info option to rename the tracks and add other identifying
information. Enter as much information as possible about the track to
enable Gracenote MusicID to locate any cover art and properly tag the
track. This is particularly useful when you have recorded commercial
albums from cassette, vinyl or other analog media.
Media Library
You may transfer audio content from the Media Library to any of the
portable media – memory cards installed in the card slots, a USB device
connected to one of the USB Ports, or a recordable CD loaded in the
Disc Player.
1. Create a playlist of the desired content. The Play Queue may not be
used for this purpose.
2. Press the Record Button, or select the Record command from the
Main Menu, and select the Media Library as the source, with the other
media as the destination.
NOTES:
• When a blank recordable CD has been loaded, you will be
presented with the options of recording it as an audio disc or
as an MP3 disc. Audio discs conform to the “red book” stan-
dard and may be played in any standard CD player. Many CD
players are not capable of playing MP3 discs. Check with the
manufacturer of the player for more information.
• Any standard CD-R disc may be used. Special Music/Audio
Recordable CDs are not required.
3. The DMC 1000 will display the playlists in the Media Library.
Select one or more playlists for recording.
4. When all selections have been made, select the “Record Selected”
option to begin the transfer.
Selections are transferred in the same format in which they are stored
in the Media Library. Thus, if your CDs are automatically recorded to the
Media Library in the MP3 format, they will be transferred to the portable
media as MP3s. Analog audio streams are recorded from the Auxiliary
Inputs as lossless WAV files, and are transferred in that format to the
portable media.
NOTE: If recordings made from the Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs
were tagged by Gracenote MusicID, the DMC 1000 will generate
new file names in the format of [artist] – [three-digit track
number].wav. The tags will be transferred to the portable media
with the file. Thus, if you upload the file from the media to your PC
using software that is capable of recognizing the tags, the track
will appear with its correct song title and other information.
Solid-State Media
You may transfer content from any of the solid-state media (memory
cards or USB device) to the Media Library in a similar fashion to recording
from the Media Library. However, it is not necessary to create a playlist,
since the data media are already organized as file folders.
1. Press the Record Button, or select the Record command from the
Main Menu, and select the solid-state media as the source, with the
Media Library (the only option) as the destination.
2. The DMC 1000 will display the folders and files stored on the media.
Select one or more items for recording.
3. When all selections have been made, select the “Record Selected”
option to begin the transfer.
NOTE:
Content may only be transferred from one of the solid-
state media to the Media Library, not from one of the solid-state
media to the other. If you wish to transfer content from one type
of media to another, first add the content to the Media Library,
and then record it to the other type of media.
