BeoSound 2 with BeoPlayer

Copy music files to BeoSound 2

The N.MUSIC organiser in BeoPlayer automatically sorts your music tracks by

Genre, Album, Title, Artists and Playlists. If you already have music stored in

N.MUSIC, you can start copying tracks to BeoSound 2.

> Place BeoSound 2 on the docking station.

The docking station must be in USB mode (indicated by red light from the

docking station). If the docking station light is not red, press and hold GO

for 2 seconds to change it, then;

> Access BeoPlayer.

> Click N.MUSIC twice to access your playlists and tracks.

> Click COPY to access the music content on BeoSound 2. A BeoSound 2

Playlist opens containing an overview of music already stored on

BeoSound 2.

> To copy tracks from your lists to BeoSound 2, simply drag and drop a track

from a list to the BeoSound 2 Playlist. An progress indicator below the track

name shows the status of the copying progress.

> To cancel a copy, select the track and delete it, either by dragging it to the

waste basket – or by pressing the DELETE button on your keyboard. A copy

will also be cancelled if you exit BeoPlayer completely, or if you unplug

BeoSound 2.

The BeoSound 2 Playlist is open and

a track is being copied from an

Album list to BeoSound 2. Wait for

the progress indicator under the

track to be filled out completely,

before your copy is finished.

About BeoPlayer

A music organiser – N.MUSIC, and a

CD player – PC CD, are some of the

most important features of the

BeoPlayer. On these pages you can

read about basic use of these

features with the BeoSound 2

portable player. To know more about

your options, we recommend that

you access the BeoPlayer On-screen

Guide.

Copy from an audio CD to BeoSound 2

You can copy music directly from an audio CD to BeoSound 2. This is useful

if, for example, you haven’t got any music stored in your BeoPlayer, and you

want to get started playing music on BeoSound 2.

> Insert an audio CD into your PC CD-rom drive.

> Click PC CD to access the PC CD list.

BeoPlayer uses your Internet connection to connect to CDDB in order to

receive information about the CD tracks*.

> Click COPY to gain access to the destination lists, and select the option

‘BeoSound 2’. A BeoSound 2 Playlist opens.

> You can now drag and drop the track or tracks you wish to copy from the

PC CD list into the BeoSound 2 list.

You can use the control bar while copying, but your copying will be disrupted

if you exit the player completely.

*In order to be able to receive CDDB information, you must be registered to

BeoPlayer, the function must be enabled in the Configuration menu (it is as

per default) and your computer must be on-line. If there is no information

available after approximately 10 seconds, your tracks will simply be registered

as ‘unknown’. Refer to the BeoPlayer On-screen Guide for further information

about CDDB.

About audio CD copying

Once a track is copied from a CD

directly to your portable player, it is

stored on your memory card, but not

on your PC. Therefore, if you

subsequently format your card, it will

erase your copy of the track.

Firmware update

Bang & Olufsen firmware updates

can be downloaded from

www.bang-olufsen.com.

Select ‘BeoSound 2 download’ and

follow the on-screen instructions.

BeoSound 2 with iTunes

Get started

Once you have set BeoSound 2 to iTunes mode, as described in the setup

section, you can begin using iTunes:

> Place BeoSound 2 on the docking station.

The docking station must be in USB mode (indicated by red light from the

docking station). If the docking station light is not red, press and hold GO

for 2 seconds to change it, then;

> Access iTunes.

After a few seconds, iTunes detects BeoSound 2. This is shown in the

playlist view and a disc icon appears on your desktop.

> You can now drag and drop tracks from your playlists on to the

BeoSound 2 icon.

It is not possible to place tracks directly into playlists. iTunes creates a

playlist: ‘music’ containing all the tracks you copy. To place a track in

another playlist, you must create a new playlist and move the track after

you have finished copying.

Note that the disc icon must be ejected from the desktop before you either

press GO to playback the music, or remove BeoSound 2 from the docking

station.

If you have a Macintosh computer,

you can use BeoSound 2 with the

iTunes program.

Organising tracks and playlists

iTunes allows you to sort your tracks

by different sorting criteria: Size,

Title, Rating etc. To display the

playback order of BeoSound 2, press

the small arrow on the top-left side

of the list. For further assistance in

the use of iTunes, refer to the help

function.

Other functions

Once you have connected BeoSound 2, iTunes adds on features that were not

previously available. These new features can be found behind buttons located

at the bottom of the playlist, as illustrated to the right.

Create playlists

To create a playlist in BeoSound 2, select the BeoSound 2 icon and click the

button marked [+] shown to the right. For daily BeoSound 2 use, having

multiple playlists is practical. It allows you to easily locate your sorted tracks,

using the next/previous playlist feature, as described on the following page.

Firmware update

Bang & Olufsen firmware updates can be downloaded from

www.bang-olufsen.com.

– Click the update button shown to the right.

The button appears in the lower right corner of iTunes – only when

BeoSound 2 is on its docking station.

– Click the ‘update firmware’ button, locate the firmware file and select it.

Await on-screen instructions. When you have followed the instructions

on-screen, an audible feedback from your BeoSound 2 will inform you that

the firmware update is completed.

IMPORTANT: BeoSound 2 returns to BeoPlayer mode, after a firmware

update. You must change the mode back, if you want to continue in iTunes

mode. Read more about changing mode on the following pages.

This button gives you access to

erase your memory card.

Create a new playlist by

clicking this button.

This button has a three-fold

purpose: See which firmware

version you currently have,

update your firmware, and

personalise BeoSound 2 by

changing the name at will.

The button differs in OS 9 and

OS X.

The upper button is the OS X

version, the lower the OS 9

version.
