ENGLISH
that the program currently only works under Windows (XP, Vista, Win7). To be sure that you always have
the latest version, you can download the software from the USB1.1 product page on our website.
Installing the program is very easy: just double-click the file and follow the instructions on your screen.
USING THE TRACK-INDEXER SOFTWARE
Each time you add or remove tracks from your USB hard disk,
you must run the TRACK-INDEXER software again to update the Track-Indexer database files!
After the installation you will see a new program directory called "JB". In this directory you will find 2 files:
- Uninstall (to uninstall the software)
- DbBuilder (to start the software)
 Connect your USB-hard drive to your PC and check which drive
letter was assigned to it.
 Click on the Track-Indexer icon to start the software: the main
screen is shown.
 In the upper center choose your USB-drive.
 Press the BUILD-button.
 The software starts scanning the USB-drive for compatible
audio files and extracts the ID3-tags to build the Track-Indexer
database files, needed to speed up the search function on the
player. Once the progression bar on the bottom is full, the database building process is finished and a
short summary is shown.
 The program wrote the Track-Indexer files (file extensions: .DBH + .dat + .DBX) to the USB-drive so now
you can remove it from your PC and connect it to the USB1.1.
To achieve the best results, please always use the latest version of the Track-Indexer database software.
You can find the software version at the bottom left of the "About"
screen.
! IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR VISTA USERS !
Many Vista users will not be able to run the Track-Indexer software.
This problem is caused by the UAC (User Account Control) limitation,
a security option limiting the user privileges in Vista. To overcome this
problem, right-click the Track-Indexer program icon and choose "Run
as administrator" in the popup menu. Windows will respond with the
window shown on the right: just click "Allow".

we talk about the functions that need a little more explanation.
