1. What operating system should my computer have in order to be compatible with the Media-Jukebox?.
PC: Microsoft Windows XP
MAC: OS 9 or OSX

Please note, this unit will not operate with Windows Vista

2. Do I need to have USB 2.0 on my computer?
Yes. The Media-Jukebox can only be connected to a computer by a USB 2.0 connection. It will not work if you are using a USB version 1 connection. You may be able to simply upgrade your computer’s USB driver to version 2.0, otherwise you will have to purchase and install a USB 2.0 port into your computer.
NOTE: USB 2.0 ports are very inexpensive and can be purchased at your local computer store.

3. Does the AC power adapter need to be connected to the Media-Jukebox when it is connected to the computer?
No. In fact, the computer will not recognize the Media-Jukebox if the AC power adapter is plugged into it. This is because the Media-Jukebox gets its power from the computer that it is connected to. The AC power adapter is only necessary when the Media-Jukebox is being used as a player and not connected to a computer.

4. Is it necessary to connect both ends of the double USB 2.0 cable to my computer?
No, it is not necessary. However, if you only have one end connected, be sure that the correct end is connected or else the computer will not recognize the Media-Jukebox.

5. How do I tell if my computer recognizes the Media-Jukebox?
PC: When you open up the MY COMPUTER folder, you will see an icon titled “Local Disc (F:)*”
* Depending on your computer, the letter of the file may be different than “F”.
MAC: A new hard drive icon will appear on your Mac OS desktop.

6. The MEDIA-JUKEBOX is connected correctly but it does not show up in the “My Computer” folder. How can I fix this?
When a new drive is installed, you computer automatically assigns it a drive letter. If this drive letter is already taken, the drive will not appear in the “My Computer” folder and it is necessary to assign a new drive letter to the Media-Jukebox.

Changing the drive letter:

1. Open up the “My Computer” folder.
2. Open the Control Panel by clicking on the “Control Panel” link.
3. Double-click on “Administrative Tools”.
4. Double-click on “Computer Management”.
5. Click once on “Disc Management”.
6. When in the “Disc Management” window, there is a window on the lower right that lists the different disc drives and hard drives. Scroll down until you find one with the following characteristics: 37.25 GB, FAT32.
7. Right click on this drive and select CHANGE DRIVE LETTER AND PATHS...
8. When in the “Change Drive Letter and Paths” window, click on CHANGE...
9. Make sure that the “Assign the Following Drive Letter” option is selected and change the letter to “M” by clicking on the arrow on the right of the letter and scrolling down to “M”.
10. Click OK and then click YES.
11. Open up the “My Computer” folder and look for Local Disc (M:).
12. Local Disc (M:) represents the Media-Jukebox. Click on this icon to open up the Media-Jukebox to add/delete files or make changes.

7. What file-types are compatible with the Media-Jukebox?
Divx, DVD, VCD, Mp3 and Photo-CD.

8. Will my karaoke (CD+G) songs work on the Media-Jukebox?
No, the Media-Jukebox is not compatible with CD+G files but if you compress your CD+G files to Divx files then they can be used on the Media-Jukebox.

9. How do I compress a CD+G file to DivX?
There are actually two available methods for compressing CD+G files to DivX. NOTE: It is essential that the CD-ROM drive on your computer is CD+G compatible. If it is not, you will not be able to do anything with CD+G files.
1. Using a CDG ripping program, you can rip each file of of the CD on to your computer’s hard drive and then run them through a DivX codec which will compress the files to DivX files.
2. Using a video capture device, you can record the video onto your hard drive and using the DR.DivX program, you can compress the files to DivX files.
NOTE: This method takes longer but it results in a higher quality of DivX file.

10. Do I have to store my media files in the folders that are already on the Media-Jukebox?
No. Those files have been provided as an example of one way that your files can be organized. You should create new folders that organize your collection based on your specific preferences.

11. Does the Media-Jukebox automatically organize files in alphabetical order?
For best results, it is preferred that you your file-names are in the form of numbers rather than letters. This will result in a more reliable organization and easier access of your files.

12. What is the best way to organize the file names?
Begin each file name with a 5-digit number, beginning with 00001, 00002...00010, 00011, etc.
IMPORTANT: You may use 4 or 3-digit numbers but be sure that you use the same amount for the whole collection. For example, do not mix 4-digit numbers and 5-digit numbers.

13. When plugged into a TV or Monitor, all the file names are missing letters and are replaced with boxes, what is wrong?
The Media-Jukebox comes loaded with a font folder. The files in this folder provide the letters for the file names, when looking at them on a TV or monitor screen. If this folder or its contents get deleted, the file names will be missing letters. Here is what you do:

1. Download the font folder by clicking here, and save it to your desktop.
2. Unzip the file using WinZip and extract the FONTS folder to your desktop.
NOTE: If you do not already have WinZip, you can download a demo version or purchase the program here.
3. Drag the FONTS folder into your Media-Jukebox.

Now, when you connect your Media-Jukebox to a TV or Monitor, the file names should be restored.

NOTE: Be sure that you do not remove the FONTS folder or its contents.

14. My Media-Jukebox seems to be putting the songs out of order. How can I fix this?
1. Make a new folder on your computer’s hard drive
2. Drag (do not copy and paste) all the files from the Media-Jukebox into that folder
3. Go VIEW --> DETAILS
4. Click on the NAME tab in the window. This will toggle between “first to last” and “last to first”. Do this a couple times and then make sure it is in “first to last” before closing the window.
5. Delete all previous files from the Media-Jukebox
6. Drag (do not copy and paste) the folder to the Media-Jukebox
7. This should ensure that your files remain in the correct order

15. I used a different program than the Power CDG to AVI Ripper to rip my CDG files on to my hard drive and the Power CDG to AVI Ripper program does not convert them correctly. They do not play or they are scrambled when they play. What is wrong?
The Power CDG to AVI Ripper program looks for files with a .BIN extension (i.e. jailhouserock.BIN). Some CDG ripping programs create files with .CDG extension (i.e. jailhouserock.CDG). You need to rename the file’s extension to BIN before converting it with the Power CDG to AVI Ripper program.

Changing the files extension:

1. Right click on the file and click on PROPERTIES
2. Make sure the GENERAL tab is selected.
3. Delete the extension from the file name (i.e. .CDG)
4. Replace with “.BIN” and press OK.
5. Once you have done this with your files, the Power CDG to AVI Ripper should convert them successfully.

16. I am running Windows 98 and it is not recognizing the Media-Jukebox. What should I do?
Firstly, you should have Win98 Second Edition and it should be updated to the most recent version. To download the latest updates you should go to the Windows 98 website, find the most recent updates and follow their instructions.

17. How can the Media-Jukebox benefit its users?
The Media-Jukebox is the ultimate media storage solution. It eliminates the need to carry around hundreds of music CDs, Video CDs, or DVDs by allowing you to store them all in this compact hard drive and it is small enough to fit in your back pocket.
