Clusters

These are the smallest unit of memory that the VS- 880EX uses to manage data on a disk drive. The smallest physical units on a disk drive are called either sectors or blocks, and depending on the device, the size that is handled can be selected. For example, the VS-880EX is designed to use disks with 512 bytes/sector. When the VS-880EX manages song data, it handles 64 sectors as a sin- gle unit (cluster). This means that 512 (bytes) x 64 (sectors) = 32768 bytes (32 kilobytes) is one cluster.

Cross Link

This is an error in which a cluster is detected as being included in two or more songs. In such a case, a completely different song may be heard in the middle of a song. Such an error condition is referred to as a cross link.
