What is the easiest way to upload files to my Rio
« on: November 08, 2002, 12:04:19 pm »

Hello,

I know this may seem strange but almost every time I have trouble to upload mp3 files to my Rio 500 handheld. Eventually I succeed but the next time I forgot how I did it, that is which steps I took.
Could someone explain to me which steps I have to take,chronological, to do it the easiest way and then for the internal as well as the external memory ?
I would be very grateful.

I don't know anything about the RIO but...

I assume that it has a USB port. If so then it probably came with Windows USB drivers. If all is well (USB drivers installed), then the RIO can be treated as just another physical drive. Open "My Computer". Do you see the RIO (or it's drive letter) there? If so dbl click on the icon. You will now have a window with the player's contents in it. Go back to the "My Computer" window and find the icon that represents the drive your music is in. Dbl click on it. Find your music directory and display its contents. Either use the Copy function or drag & drop the files to your Rio window. Should be that easy.

Thank you Xen-uno.
Maybe that will be the easiest way, but I havent installed the Rio drivers. Instead I downloaded and installed the Rio500 plug- in from Media Jukebox and I was looking for an easy way to do it with that.
Do you have any suggestions ?

Assuming the RIO plugin is installed and works in MJ then do the following:

Select file(s) in MJ. Right click on highlighted file. You will see Send To>Device. If your plug-in installed correctly then you should see RIO or something to that effect. Now click on it. File transfer should begin.
