Troubleshooting - Macintosh Computer - OS X System Hints and Guide
I have recorded my sounds, but nothing plays back when I activate theDMX Channel.
Check to see that you have named the audio files correctly. For example, if you only have 5-MP3 audio files
on the drive, they would be named “001.mp3” “002.mp3” “002.mp3” “004.mp3”
“004.mp3”
Check to see if your Hide File Extension display is turned ON in your computer, if so, then the files probably
have double extensions added,“001.mp3.mp3. -“021.mp3.mp3. The second extension is
incorrect, should be 001.mp3” to “032.mp3, Turn Hide OFF and rename the files.
Try using just the file name “001" without a period.
Check to see that the audio files you are using are not a different format, The audio file must be MP3 type.
Check your USB Flash Memory Drive to see that it has been formatted as a blank drive, before adding you
new sound files, Some USB Flash Memory Drives have a security or Auto Boot feature that prevents the
MP3 player from using the sound files correctly even when formatted. Re-format your USB Flash Memory
Drive removing any security or Auto Boot formats first. (Format USB Flash Drive as a MS-DOS FAT)
Try a different USB Flash Memory Drive type, as some manufacture brands operate different than others.
