COSMIC VINTAGE RADIO

Load your own music.

The radio comes ready to play, but changing the music is easy when you want to make it more personal.

The music is stored on a removable microSD card inside the radio. You only need to open the rear panel when you want to change the music.

BEFORE YOU START

Unplug the radio first.

Disconnect the radio from its power supply before opening the rear panel or removing the microSD card.

You do not need to touch, unplug or modify any of the electronics inside. The only component you need to handle is the microSD card.

ON YOUR COMPUTER

Add your music.

Use a microSD card reader or SD adapter to connect the card to your computer.

1
Open the microSD card. The existing songs will appear as files on the card.
2
Add or remove songs. Copy your MP3 files directly onto the card. You can also delete music you no longer want.
3
Keep everything in the main directory. Do not create folders. The Cosmic Vintage Radio is designed to use one simple, flat collection of music files.
4
Eject the card safely. Use your computer’s eject function before physically removing the microSD card from your computer.
KEEP IT SIMPLE

Music card guidelines.

A simple card layout gives the radio the most reliable and predictable operation.

FILES

Use MP3 music files.

Standard MP3 files provide the best compatibility with the radio.

NO FOLDERS

Put songs directly on the card.

Keep the music in the main directory of the microSD card rather than organizing songs into folders.

LIBRARY SIZE

Up to 2,000 songs recommended.

Larger collections may work, but keeping the library to approximately 2,000 songs or fewer is recommended.

COMPATIBILITY

Conventional MP3s work best.

If a particular song is skipped or does not play, try converting it to a standard MP3 file and copying it back to the card.

Using the original supplied microSD card? There is no need to reformat it. Simply add, remove or replace the music files.

4
PUT IT BACK

Reinstall the microSD card.

1
Insert the card in the same orientation. Carefully slide the microSD card back into the same slot it came from.
2
Press until it clicks. Gently press the card inward until you feel a click. Release it and the card should remain locked securely in the slot.
3
Replace the rear panel. Position the rear panel back onto the radio and reinstall its screws.
4
Plug the radio back in. Turn the radio on normally. It will now use the music stored on the microSD card.
THAT’S IT

Your radio, your music.

Familiar songs can make the radio far more personal. Add music that matters to the person listening, reinstall the card, and the radio remains just as simple to use as before.
