Importing and exporting tracks
You can import and export individual tracks to and from
a PC via the FAT partition. The files used for track import
and export are 16-bit 44.1kHz mono WAV format (and
must have the .WAV extension). Audio in other formats
intended for import must be converted before they can be
imported to the unit.
This is basically the reverse of the backup process, allow-
ing you to transfer a song archive from a PC to the unit.
