Direct Transfer to a Computer
As the FlashMic is a generic USB mass storage device, files can be transferred from
it to a Mac or PC in the same way as from any other USB mass storage device.
Drag-and-drop the required sound files to their new location in the normal
way.
Disconnect the FlashMic. After disconnection, the FlashMic can be
switched off.
!
Do not attempt to format the FlashMic from Mac or PC as the internal file system will be
corrupted and any recordings will be lost.
Switch the microphone on.
Connect the FlashMic to a spare USB port on the PC, using the cable
supplied. The FlashMic’s display will show USB.
You can audition the sound files recorded in the FlashMic before transferring them,
if wished. To do so:
If a “DRM-85 (d:)” window opens (d = drive letter, will vary with PC) listing
options for playing music files, you can select any audio file application
offered (such as Windows™ Media Player) to audition the sound files within
the FlashMic. The options available will depend on which software
applications are installed on the PC.
If the drive folder above does not open, you can still audition the files by
opening any audio application available on the PC, and selecting File>Open.
Then navigate first to the DRM-85 device, which will be listed among the
drives, then to the AUDIO folder within it. The sound files are all in this
folder.
If you do not wish to audition the files first, or have already done so, perform the
transfer as follows:
First determine the location in the PC’s directory structure that the files
should be transferred to. This may necessitate creating and naming new
folders for the purpose.
Using Windows™ Explorer, navigate to the DRM-85 drive in the ‘Folders’
pane, and open the folder called ‘AUDIO’. The recorded sound files will be
listed in the main pane. Do not delete any files in any of the other folders.
Note the example given below applies to a PC running Windows™ XP. Other operating
systems differ slightly, if you are unsure about this procedure, please consult your
HHB dealer.
