The software should be fairly self-explanatory, if you spend some time playing around with it. I don't believe there was ever a manual made for Media Manager, but if you find it too daunting to use, try using the older Phatnoise Music Manager 2.3 software instead. It's a little more straightforward, and instructions for using it are included in the Phatbox User Manual. The software and manual are still available in the downloads section of the phatnoise.com website.
