ID3-tags are well maintained. A perfect “freeware” ID3-tag editor for this task is called “MP3TAG” and

•
PITCH BENDING:
This function is used to synchronize the beats of two tracks. This can be done in two ways:
•
[PITCH BEND] buttons:
The speed increases or decreases respectively as long as the [PITCH
BEND+] or [PITCH BEND-] buttons (22) are pressed.
•
[JOG WHEEL]:
During play mode the [JOG WHEEL] (28) will temporarily bend the pitch of the music
by turning the [JOG WHEEL] clockwise to speed up or counterclockwise to slowdown. The rotation
speed the [JOG WHEEL] determines the percent of pitch bend.
•
PLAYING/RECORDING CD-R and CD-RW:
Apart from normal audio CD’s the [USB1.1 REC] can play both CD-R (CD recordable) and CD-RW (CD
rewriteable). Please note that you should always use the “disc at once” and “track at once” disc writing
options! Although the [USB1.1 REC] is capable of reading CD-R and CD-RW recorded at higher speeds,
we suggest not using recording speeds more than x12 to increase readability. Always buy good quality
brands for CD-R and CD-RW!
If the disc is multi session, it will only play the first session:
•
if the first session is CD-DA you can only play CD-DA tracks.
•
if the first session is MP3 you can only play MP3 files.

[OUT] button (12) to program the endpoint of the loop. Then press the [PLAY]-button (14) to start the loop.
