NOTE

An error message appears if there are no files on the FAT partition.

Track import and export

You can import and export individual tracks between a computer and this unit’s FAT partition. Files that can be imported and exported as tracks must be 16-bit, 44.1-kHz, mono WAV files (with the “.wav” extension). If you want to import audio into this unit that is of a different format, you must convert it to a 16-bit, 44.1-kHz mono WAV file first.

The actual song name and a confirmation message (“Are you sure?”) appear.

NOTE

If the file name is short, spaces appear after the file name on the FAT partition, but those spaces are not included in the actual file name.

7Press the F3 (YES) key.

After the currently loaded song is saved, the song selected in step 6 is restored and loaded.

NOTE

If the open space on the card is insufficient, an error message appears.

Importing tracks

Before importing a track, first select the partition with the song that you want to import it into as the active partition. Then, load the song that you want to import tracks into.
