Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I get my music into moodSeer?

   There are many ways. Let’s go in order from the easiest (done for you) to the most technical (DIY):

   1) Use our Concierge Riptopia service when ordering. Riptopia will ship you a box with spindles for your CDs. You simply take all your hundreds … or thousands … out of their jewel cases and stack them on the spindles. Then ship the box back to Riptopia. Within a few days, your CDs will be returned to you, and you will receive your moodSeer system pre-loaded with all your music. There is a charge for this service, so you must consider how you value your time!

   2) Rip each CD one by one using the moodCenter’s CD reader. Pop in your CD, choose ‘Record a CD’ from the moodSeer interface, verify the information, and press GO. After about 5 minutes, your CD will be ejected and. Repeat these steps for all your CDs.

   3) If you already have digital music, you can copy your music onto the moodCenter hard drive using drag and drop from Windows Explorer (or Finder on the Macintosh). Simply navigate to the moodCenter and connect to the Music folder (typically \\172.16.17.10\Music) as explained in your moodSeer manual.

2. Is moodSeer secure? Can the neighbors snoop on my music?

   The moodSeer ships configured as a secure private network. This ensures complete security of your music.

3. How much music can I put on moodSeer?
