Make sure you have already installed the MusicMatch™ program from the included CD-ROM. 

ENCODE First we have to get those CDs of yours into MP3 format. Regular CDs are in the 
format CDA (fancy term for Compact  Disc  Audio). We’ll just use MusicMatch™ and encode 
them into MP3 format. 

a) Start MusicMatch™ by double-clicking on the icon. 

b) Insert your music CD into your computer’s CD drive. MusicMatch™ will start playing the CD. 
Click on the stop button to stop playing the CD.  

 

 

 

 

c) Open up the recorder window by 
clicking on View, and then select 
Record as shown. The Record 
window will appear and you will see 
your CD tracks on the right of the 
window. If the CD is relatively new 
(last four years) it will probably 
already have the track title 
information included in the CD. If 
not, you will see the words Track 1, 
Track 2, etc. 

 

 

d) In the recorder window, the tracks that will be recorded (turned into MP3 format) will have a 
check mark in front of the song. You can uncheck the tracks that you do not want to record. Now 

click on Start. MusicMatch™ 
will now encode the checked 
tracks into MP3 files. You 
will see the CD music tracks 
being encoded in real time.

that the first song is 50% encoded. Be patient as the encoding time can take a while.  

LOCATE Now let’s go get those MP3s so that we can transfer them over to the Jukebox. 
MusicMatch™ automatically puts them in the folder My Music. Start by double-clicking on My 
Documents and then open My Music. You will then find an Artist folder, and within it, your 
specific album. 

TRANSFER Finally, transfer the files over to the Gmini as explained previously. 

If you subscribe to a paid internet music service* which allows you to download MP3 music files 
and you want to put them on your Gmini, you should do the following.  

Start by downloading your music file to your folder My Music on your computer. You should use 
a clean file structure as described in section 8.1 of this manual. Next, connect your Gmini to your 
computer and then follow instructions in section 7.2. 

 

Attention: Before subscribing to a paid music service, be careful to read the 

information on the music download web site to be sure that the file format is supported 

by the Gmini. Some websites may use special encription systems. 

  

Attention: You should re-index the ARCLibrary system so that it can take into 

account newly transferred files. This is automatically done each time you select “Send 

to Portable device” in MusicMatch™ with the Gmini connected to your PC. 

MusicMatch™ will display a message “Activating Portable Device” while it is 

updating the ARCLibrary contents. If you transfer large amounts of files to your Gmini 

(tens of Gigabytes of data) the indexing will take about one minute for each gigabyte 

of music). If you do not update your ARCLibrary after transfering files to the Gmini, it 

will not be able to include these mp3 files in the ARCLibrary. You will have to play 

these files by browsing the Gmini’s hard drive in the Browser mode 

 .
