Managing files on the JM-8

The JM-8's "File Utility" functions allow you to rename, save, delete and copy/paste files in/to the internal memory or a
USB storage device. With the exception of "Copy", the functions discussed here are not available for CDs or CD-ROMs.

Working on the 'FILE UTILITY' page

The JM-8 allows you to rename files and folders on the
selected storage device, to copy them and to delete
them. You can also save certain file types on this page.

Selecting the storage device
The functions discussed below always apply to a file
on the currently selected storage device. You must

You can only select a storage device that is available.
Therefore, remember to connect a USB storage device
(or to insert a CD into the drive) before pressing the
corresponding display button.

button remains active.
USB Refers to the USB storage device connected to
the EXTERNAL MEMORY port on the JM-8's

Rename

Use the "RENAME" function to change the name of the
selected song, picture files, or folder.
WARNING: Changing the name of a song is usually not
recommended. Song files may be referenced by playlists.
If you change their names here, such files are no longer
visible to the Playlist function.

UTILITY' page" and select the storage device.
(2) Open the folder that contains the file or folder you
want to rename.
(3) Press the [RENAME] display button.

(6) To confirm your entry and rename the file, press
the [ENTER] display button.
The display briefly shows the "Operation complete"
message.
Note: Although the JM-8 allows you to use long file
names, we suggest using short names (maximum 18 char-
acters) whenever possible to be able to see the complete
name in the JM-8's display.
