| What is digitizing? |
Digitizing –also called "ripping", "loading" or "downloading"- is the conversion of a music CD into a file format that can be played on the device. Digitizing includes artist name, album title, track title, track length, i.e. the so-called "meta data". Digitizing is often chosen by people with a large number of older out-of-print titles that are not available for purchase online, for example old Jazz- or classical albums from defunct labels. Most of our customers do not need digitizing. They just give us their CDS and get a new device. If you opt for the exchange without digitizing you will send us your CDs and we will send your device. If you opt for digitizing you will get the device plus a set of back-up DVDs. |

How many CDs will fit on my device? |
The compression format is a trade-off between audio quality and disk space. The better the quality the more space one album requires. The more space one album requires the lower the total number of CDs that fit onto the device. We do not offer any lossless formats such as AIFF.

How do I get my music onto the device? |
If you opt for digitzing you will get a complete set of back-up DVDs of your music. That way you get an additional back-up copy of your music in case you lose your device. And you can be sure that the device is new because it is unopened. Insert the DVDs into the DVD drive of your computer. Connect the device through its cable to the USB port of your computer. We recommend using iTunes to move and manage your files. |

| What is iTunes? |
iTunes is a free software from Apple that can be downloaded for free from Apple (iTunes Free Download). iTunes will show you all necessary information about the albums in your collection such as artist name, track titles, playing time, etc. You can move individual tracks or albums from the DVDs onto your device or change what you listen to on your device. |

| Will I lose my music because not all albums will fit? | Some smaller devices might not hold all the albums you have sent us. By using iTunes and the back-up DVDs you can always decide which tracks you want to access on your device with limited storage capacity. | |||||||||||||||
