Digital picture frames can play music.
Digital picture frames serve as more than picture viewers. Many digital frames display videos, weather forecasts, and news and sports headlines, and play videos and music through the MP3 format. Files with this format compress so that a memory card or USB storage device can hold many times more music than a standard compact disc. As a result, a digital frame with an MP3 player can fill a room with hours of music and run musical slide shows for holiday celebrations and other occasions.
Instructions
1. Download MP3 files from an authorized provider or rip them from your own CD. To convert CD songs to MP3, insert the CD into your computer. In Windows Media Player, go to "Tools" and select "Options." Choose a folder, such as "My Music," to save converted files. Click the tab for "Rip Music." Verify that you have chosen MP3 as the format under "Rip Settings." Close the "Options" window by clicking "OK." Select "Rip" on the top tool bar.
2. Slots on a computer for inserting USB storage devices.
Place a memory card or USB drive into your computer. Go to "My Computer" and select the icon for the card or USB drive. Minimize the window for your storage device. Open the folder where you saved your ripped MP3 files. Hold the "Ctrl" key and click on the MP3 files you wish to transfer. Drag the files to the folder bar for your card or USB drive.
3. Insert a memory card or USB jump drive into a digital frame.
Insert your card or USB drive into the digital picture frame. Turn on the frame. Select the music or play music function. Press play or highlight "play" and press "OK" using the remote. To display a musical slide show, include MP3s and picture (JPEG) files on the same memory card or USB drive. Go to the options for slide shows and make sure you have activated "music on" or the music-playing feature. Press the slide show button on your remote.
