Downloading Music from the Music Cart to a Jukebox

How do I use the TouchTunes Dashboard to download music to my jukeboxes?

You can transfer music from the Music Cart to any of your jukeboxes using the TouchTunes

Dashboard. If any of your jukeboxes are equipped with TuneCentral, you can also transfer music directly to the TuneCentral hard drive.

To transfer music from the Music Cart to a jukebox:

1. Access the Music Cart by doing one of the following:

• Click the Music Cart icon in the Quick Links area.

• Choose My Music | Music Cart.

The Music Cart page appears. You use this page to view the current contents of the Music

Cart, as well as to transfer music to your jukeboxes.

The left side of the Music cart page shows the current contents of your Music Cart, while the right side of the page shows a list of your jukeboxes.

3. (Optional) Enable Remove the Selected Songs from the Cart After a Successful Operation if you want to automatically delete the songs from your Music Cart once they have been transferred to the jukebox.

You normally enable this option to keep your Music Cart organized as you transfer music to your jukeboxes. However, you should disable this option if:

• You want to transfer a subset of the selected songs to other jukeboxes later.

• You want to save the Music Cart to reuse it in a future Dashboard session.

Tip: You can remove music from the Music Cart manually by choosing the songs to be deleted and then clicking Remove From Cart.

Next, choose the jukeboxes where you want the selected music to be transferred. If any of your NextGen jukeboxes have TuneCentral installed, set whether you want to transfer music to the local drive or the TuneCentral drive.

Note: Gen 3 jukeboxes do not have a separate TuneCentral unit. For Gen 3 jukeboxes,

TuneCentral refers to the TouchTunes central music repository.

4. If necessary, choose Send to Jukebox or Send to TuneCentral to determine the drive to which the music will be transferred.

Note: The Send to TuneCentral option is available only on NextGen jukeboxes, and only those equipped with a TuneCentral unit.

5. Select the jukebox(es) where the selected music from the Music Cart will be transferred.

You can transfer the same set of music from the Music Cart to as many jukeboxes as you like.

Click Select All to transfer the selected music to all your jukeboxes (or to all jukeboxes equipped with TuneCentral).

6. Click Order Songs to initiate the music transfer to the jukebox(es).

The following indicators appear on the Music Cart page to confirm the music transfer:

• A message appears at the top of the page.

• The color of the selected jukebox(es) changes to show the jukebox where the music is going.

• The value in the Orders column for the jukebox is incremented by the number of songs being transferred.
