    Chapter 4
    Playing Music
    You can transfer audio files from your computer and play 
    them on the viewer. You can create playlists using the Epson 
    Link2 software on your computer, or using the viewer itself.
    This chapter describes how to transfer and play music, and 
    how to manage your audio files on the viewer.
    Copying Music From Your Computer
    First, make sure you have installed the Epson Link2 
    software, following the instructions in your P-3000/P-5000 
    Basics guide. 
    If you want to copy files from a music CD, you first need to 
    convert the file format to MP3 or M4A using CD copying 
    software on your computer. You can also use this software to 
    change the song and artist names displayed on the playlist if 
    necessary. WMA and WAV files are automatically converted to M4A 
    when they are transferred. You can specify conversion 
    settings if necessary; see “Setting Backup and Conversion 
    Preferences” on page 45 for instructions.
    1Connect the AC adapter to the viewer and plug it in. 
    2Turn on the viewer and your computer.
    3Use the included USB cable to connect the viewer to 
    your computer.
    The LCD screen turns off.

    4Double-click the  Epson Link2 icon on your desktop 
    to open the program. 
    5Click 
    My Music on the screen, then locate the audio 
    files you want to copy from your computer.
    Caution: 
    Epson Link2 uses ID3 tags to organize your music files. If 
    the ID3 tag information is missing, these items will appear 
    as “unknown.” The viewer will rename your files to make 
    them playable. Always keep backup copies of your songs, 
    and never transfer your only copies to the viewer.
    6Click the   down arrow in the center of the screen to 
    transfer the files to your viewer.
    7Disconnect the viewer from your computer:
    ❍Windows: Right-click the icon in the lower right 
    corner of your screen and select 
    Safely Remove 
    Hardware
     or Unplug or Eject Hardware. Then 
    remove the USB cable.
    ❍Macintosh: Drag and drop the viewer icon to the 
    trash, then remove the USB cable.
    8If you see a message on the viewer asking you to update 
    the music list, click 
    OK.
    Note: 
    Only audio files transferred from a computer can be displayed in 
    My Music. If you want to play a music file copied from a 
    memory card, select it in Backup Files, then press 
    OK to play it.

    the following audio formats without copyright protection 
    and with a maximum file size of 100MB:
    Note: 
    The viewer supports non-lossless-compliant M4A and WMA 
    files. Some files may not be played, even if the formats are 
    supported.
