This information appears when you first login and when an error message will appear if you have reached your quota limit.

 

Select Target Folder

Your mp3 files upload to "Media" folder only. Select the "Media" folder and double clicking on it.

 

Transfering Files

You can upload a MP3 file by double-clicking on it. It will be added to the transfer queue and the transfer starts automatically. To transfer folders and/or multiple files, select them and right-click the selection. Then you can click on Upload/Download in the popup menu.

You can also drag the files from one side and drop them on the other side. To add files to the queue so that they will be transferred later, select them and click Add to Queue from the popup menu. You may also drag the files directly into the queue.
