Recording with the Built-in Microphone Viewing and Managing Photos Playing and Managing Videos Playing ZENcast Content Ripping Music  When you rip music, you convert music tracks (often from CDs) into a format suitable for playback on your computer. You can rip music easily with applications like Creative Centrale or Windows Media® Player.  1. Make sure the audio CD you want to rip from is placed inside your CD drive. 2. Start Creative Centrale on your computer. 3. In Creative Centrale, click the Rip   button. Follow the instructions on the screen. For more information, click the Help   button. Notes  When ripping tracks, make sure that they are tagged properly. See Tagging your Audio Tracks. If you are connected to the Internet and have registered with a music information provider, album information will automatically be retrieved. Tagging your Audio Tracks  To tag an audio track is to add descriptive information to it, so that you can distinguish the track from among others later. Every audio track (MP3 or WMA file) has a set of properties that contains information such as song and album title, artist name and genre. Using these properties, your player organizes your music library into categories such as albums, artists and genres, enabling you to browse your huge collection of audio tracks quickly and easily.  If an audio track contains inaccurate properties, such as unrecognized characters or incorrect details, you may not be able to perform accurate searches on your player.  For a better experience, make sure your audio tracks contain correct properties.  To fill in properties automatically  While connected to the Internet, use Creative Centrale to "rip" audio tracks from audio CDs. Creative Centrale uses MusicIDSM from Gracenote® to automatically retrieve information about your audio CDs and create track properties.  For more information, refer to the application's online Help.  To fill in properties manually  You can use Creative Centrale to fill in audio track properties manually. For information on how to do this, click the Help   button in Creative Centrale. Under the Search tab, enter 'Tagging Media Files Manually' in the text box and click List Topics.  Tips  Purchase Creative Media Toolbox to automatically update and rectify audio track properties for your entire music library. Creative Media Toolbox also contains other additional features that enable you to conveniently manage, enhance and organize your music library. Transferring Files to Your player  You can use Creative Centrale to easily transfer files into your player. For information on how to do this, click the Help   button in Creative Centrale.
