6 MUSIC - Using iTunes™ with your PMA430
The easiest way to transfer music files between a Macintosh
®
computer and
your PMA430 is to use the Macintosh Finder™ to drag and drop the files to
and from your Macintosh
®
. Keep in mind that Macintosh® uses the AAC
format natively and that only your MP3, WAV, and WMA files will play on your ARCHOS
device.
However, for Macintosh
®
users who do want to use the PMA430 with iTunes
®
, ARCHOS has
developed a special i-Tunes
®
plug-in. You will find the folder iTunes plug-in in the ARCHOS
folder on the PMA430 as well as on the ARCHOS website. In this folder you will find a plug-in
for Mac OS 9.x and another folder for Mac OS 10.x. You will also find a JPEG image illustrating
where you need to copy the plug-in to. Once this is done, iTunes™ will recognize the PMA430 as
a ‘Device’.
To make your user experience easy as possible, please keep in mind the following.
1) Music purchased at Apple’s on-line music store are copy protected with a proprietary
encryption system. The ARCHOS device will not be able to play this purchased music. It will
happily play MP3 format files without problem.
2) When you create your Playlists with iTunes
®
(you can only create Playlists from songs that
have been copied to your PMA430), your Macintosh
®
will save these Playlists to the root
directory of your PMA430. It will not save them to the PMA430 Music directory. It would be
best to use the PMA430 itself to make Playlists and then save these Playlists to the Music or
some other convenient folder.
3) When you drag and drop MP3 files from your iTunes
®
library to your PMA430, the i-Tunes
®
program will look at the ID3 tag information of the MP3 file, and create a folder on the root of
your PMA430 using the name of the Artist as the folder name. Then it will take the Album
name ID3 tag, and create a subfolder with that album as its name. Finally, it will take the MP3
song itself and place it into that album subfolder. Thus, although it is a clean structure of artists
and albums, i-Tunes
®
does not follow the PMA430 convention of placing the music into the
Music folder first.
