I have about 500 CDs and a JB 99 which I need to load them on. It has some songs on its hard drive now, but I'd like to load all of my cd's onto a new hard drive using my PC, make books, then connect the new hard drive into the JB99, so as not to take down my current songs (so I don't have a show without the machine). What is the best way to do this, and are there any automatic programs that can do it for me? thank you.

Accepted Answer

DearÂ Customer

Obtain a new IDE hard drive large enough to load all the songs from your discs.Â Each song is around 4MB, and so 1000 songs will requireÂ 4GB.

Format the hard drive as a JB-99 hard drive.Â The instruction for formatting JB-99 hard drive is in the website and in the user forum.

Extract and load the songs from the discs into the new hard drive using MCG Manager (to extract) and IDE transfer method (to transfer) of JB-99.Â Song numbers should start from 1 to 19999.

Set the pin setting of the hard drive as Slave.

Connect the hard drive as the second hard drive in the JB-99 using the IDE cable with two connectors for two hard drives.Â On this cable, the original hard driveÂ iinside is first attached.Â The cable is then slid out of the case to connect to the new hard drive.

Turn on the JB-99 unit.Â Using the song numbers from 1 - 19999, you can play the songs inside your original hard drive. Using song number from 20001 - 39999,Â you can play the songs 1 - 19999 inside the new hard drive.
