Importing Music Into FireBall
FireBall’s CONTENT volume is read-only, which means you can’t write to it or use it for
importing music files from your PC to your FireBall. There is a way! FireBall actually provides
two server volumes, one for reading your music collection and one for importing your music
collection. The difference is that the IMPORT volume is a writeable volume while the
CONTENT volume is read only.

Windows Vista/7 Fix
Both Windows Vista and Windows 7 may potentially corrupt music files during transfer to an
Escient Fireball. This results in skipping audio throughout playback on the Fireball. Again, this
only pertains to Windows Vista/7. Using Windows XP, Mac OS X, Linux, etc. and you will not
encounter this corruption when transferring to the Fireball. Therefore, the current work-around
is to download and install an application called TeraCopy which is a replacement to the default
Windows explorer file transfer utility and will not corrupt the music files. Then perform the
transfer just the same as you did previously.

Apple FairPlay DRM & iTunes Plus
DRM, which stands for Digital Rights Management, is a technology used mainly in restricting
the playback of most legally purchased music through online music stores. DRM was created
on behalf of the music industry as a whole to allow content owners to determine and control
who and how users can view content such as media files on the Internet. However, there are
both advantages and disadvantages to DRM. Unfortunately, due to DRM, compatibility
between music playback hardware and software is severely limited. Any company wishing to
produce hardware/software compatible with music files that include DRM technology must
directly support each type of DRM technology and it is up to the company in which the music
files are distributed on whether to license this technology out to 3rd party companies.
Music files purchased through the iTunes online music service must be purchased in an
unprotected format in order to transfer the files to the FireBall. Apple calls their DRM-free
