7 − Using the folder finder

Overview

The SS-R1 can use a folder structure to manage audio files on a CompactFlash card.

The folder finder screen shows the folders and files in a tree structure. In this screen, you can select the folder or file that you want to use, and then enter the folder menu screen or file menu screen. From these screens, you can create folders, rename or delete a folder or file, register a file in a playlist, or edit files by dividing or joining them.

You can also use operations directly from the folder finder screen to move or copy files between folders.

TIP

If you use a card reader to load files from your computer into a CompactFlash card, you’ll be able to use your computer to modify the folder structure, edit the folder name or file name, or delete files or folders. If you perform this type of editing from your computer, please be aware that the playback order of the files on the SS-R1 may differ after editing on your computer.

Opening the folder finder screen

When the play area (“Play area” on page 21) is ALL or FOLDER, and the SS-R1 is stopped, playing, or paused, you can hold down the front panel MENU key (or press the remote’s FINDER key) to access the folder finder screen.

•If the play area is ALL and the SS-R1 was stopped, the finder screen for the root folder will appear.

•If the play area is FOLDER and the SS-R1 was stopped, the finder screen for the current folder will appear.
