3. Connecting to a Computer and Transferring Audio Files
To transfer music or other audio files, connect the MP3 player to your computer using the USB-C cable. The player's screen will light up, prompting you to choose "Transfer" mode. Once selected, your computer will recognize the player as a removable drive (or two drives if a memory card is inserted). You can then drag and drop your audio files into the player's internal storage or the memory card. For optimal organization, it is recommended to prefix song titles alphabetically (A-Z) or numerically (0001, 0002, etc.).
