If you save an audio recording of a song on the
USB ash drive, you'll be able to listen to it on your
computer.
In order for an SMF song recording to be used on your
computer, you’ll need to convert it to audio (WAV le).
Audio recordings of songs are saved as WAVE les
(16-bit, 44.1 kHz).
You can use your computer to burn them to a music
CD or upload them to the Internet.
WAV
Use computer software (such as
iTunes) to burn the song to a CD.
A song recorded on the unit can be
