Sony MHC-W55 Grouping Tracks music clip, Storing tracks in a clip, Erasing tracks from a clip

Grouping Tracks (music clip)

The music clip function is an easy way to create up to 3 arbitrary groups of tracks from your CDs. For example, you could store tracks for the morning in CLIP A, tracks to play for your friends in CLIP B, and tracks for relaxing in CLIP C.

Once you store one or more tracks in a music clip(s), the player recalls those tracks whenever you play the respective disc
