folder when you double-click the folder to 
open it:

2

To back up this song, we’ll create a folder on 
the computer’s hard disk called 

JACE

 (you 

can call your folder whatever you want!). 
Drag and drop the files from the song folder 
on the Pocketstudio 5 into this folder:

If you look at the song folder on the card 
side-by-side with the new 

JACE

 folder, you’ll 

see that the contents of the two should be 
identical.

3

Now is the time to start compressing the files, 
so that they are smaller. Select all the files in 
the 

JACE

 folder and right-click them. Select 

the 

Add to Zip

 option from the popup 

menu.

4

When you do this, you start WinZip. If you 
have not registered the program, a WinZip 
panel appears:

Click 

I Agree

, to show that you agree to the 

21-day evaluation period, as stated on the 
panel.

5

On the next panel that appears, type 

Jace.zip

 at the end of the path in the 

Add 

to Archive

 text field. Click 

Add

.

The WinZip program then compresses your 
files and adds them to an archive called 

Jace.zip

. It shows you the results of its work 

in a new window. 

NOTE

If you are sending a song which uses an SMF as a back-
ing track, remember to include the SMF with the song 
data in the archive before you send it.
