Loading music onto the P1 from a Mac
The Activo P1 transfers over MTP. Connects over MTP like an Android device when plugged into a Mac.
Diskoteca handles this for you: pick the albums and playlists, and it fills the device — converting formats on the fly when the player needs it. See how device sync works or read which format to put on your DAP.
Where to buy
Specs change with firmware, and we occasionally get one wrong. If something here doesn't match your P1, email us — we read everything.

Diskoteca rips your CDs, fixes the tags, and syncs the result straight to this player.
