Media Contents: Folders, Songs, and Files
Folders:
A folder is a storage location in the media, used to organize multiple songs in
groups. If you’ve saved hundreds of songs to a USB flash memory, it may be difficult
to find the desired song quickly. Organizing your songs in folders, with similar
songs grouped together (for example, according to genre or tempo), makes it easier
to find the songs you want.
Songs:
A song is the Electone data for a piece of music, recorded to external media. A single
song can contain a variety of data, including the recorded performance,
Registrations, and so on.
Files:
A file is an element of data in a song. For example, a single song consists of various
files, such as Registration files and performance files. The following files are created
with the M.D.R. (The extension will not appear in the Electone display. They will,
however, be displayed on a computer.)
In addition, one file (extension: .name) is automatically created in each folder for
organization/maintenance of the folder contents. It does not appear on the Electone
display.
