Before You Play
A song you’ve recorded on the HP203 can be saved by
copying it to separately sold USB memory (p. 60).
You can also copy songs to a floppy disk using a separately
sold floppy disk drive.
You can also play back SMF music data or audio files (p. 42)
saved on USB memory or a floppy disk.
