You can enable two or more songs to playback in a specified order. This can be used to playback a medley of songs, or when you wish to record con- secutive mixdowns of songs to DAT or MD. Pro- gram Play can be performed even across multiple drives. As an example, we will explain how to playback songs in the order of song number I (internal drive) 01→ I02→ A (SCSI ID 0) 05.
