Handling Song Copy Archives Disks

When you save songs using the Song Copy Archives method, the destination disks are initialized automatically. This initialization differs from the usual Drive Initialize formatting (p. 222). Since disks are initialized automatically, you can use the Song Copy Archives procedure with newly purchased disks, disks that were used with another device, or other unformatted disks. However, any older data residing on the disks is lost once the Archives procedure is performed. Do not designate a disk that contains archive song data as the current drive. If you try to do this, the disk will be identified as an uninitialized disk.

Loading a Song from an External Drive Using Song Copy Playable

To copy songs from an external drive into the internal drive, first switch the current drive (the drive or partition in active use) to the external drive’s SCSI ID using Drive Select, as described below. Then use Song Copy Playable to copy the song from the external drive to the internal drive.

*If you copy a song from the external drive back to the internal drive without first erasing the original song from the internal drive, the original song is not overwritten. A new song is created with the same name as the original and is written to the lowest available song number.
