Grouping Tracks
(music clip)
The music clip function is an easy way to
produce up to three groups of tracks from
your CDs. For example, you could store
tracks for the morning in CLIP A, tracks to
play for your friends in CLIP B, and tracks
for relaxing in CLIP C.
Once you store one or more tracks in a
music clip(s), the player recalls those tracks
whenever you play the respective disc.
