Windows Vista: The current Media Player is Windows Media Player 11.
These instructions are for use with WMP 10. Other versions behave similarly.
First download the file from the website. Ensure you have downloaded the license according to the instructions on the supplying website. If not, when you try to download the file to your player, WMP a message will appear in the operating window
asking you to download the license from the music publisher.

The player sorts music into categories using ID3 tags.
ID3 tags are electronic tags embedded by the music producer in the recording and contain information such as song and
album title, artist, production date and much more. This is the information the player sorts when it boots up. As long as the

original tag. If ID3 tags are not present, the player will group the music files into an “anonymous” section

Renaming Files
Locate the file. In this case it is a FM
Radio recording. Right Click on the file
Select “Rename” from the list
Enter the new name in the box
The player will now recognise the new
name.
Note: this will only happen with Voice
and FM Radio recordings
Notes on Renaming Files
• Music Files: Music files are identified by the player based on ID3 tags. Whether these are uploaded to the player as single
files or in folders, or have been renamed by the user, the player ignores all these. See Page 20 for full information.
• Radio and Microphone recordings: The player names all files consecutively in the order they were recorded. There is no
renaming function in the player. So if, for example, you delete F004 from the FM folder the player will not rename the files but
leave a gap. You can rename a voice or microphone recording and the player will detect the new name. We strongly suggest
you rename recordings you wish to keep.
