5 When the above procedure is finished, select Top Menu >
Library > Music Archive > Artists for the artist list view
screen. Notice that the 'previous' artists, Jazzy Rocks,
Jazzy Pops and Pop Rockers, have no associated
albums or songs.
If you have no plan to add songs for these artists, you can
delete them one at a time using the Delete this Artist
command from the Submenu. Select OK in a confirmation
dialog box that appears, and the selected artist is deleted
from the list view.
Next, check the 'previous' genres, Rock and Pop, in the
genre list view by selecting Top Menu > Library > Music
Archive > Genres. Notice that Rock is empty, but Pop still
has albums from other artists. You can delete Rock using the
Delete this Genre command from the Submenu; but if
deleting Pop, you will lose other artists' albums and songs.

Empty — album and song counts are zero (0)
Here, we've shown the general concepts of editing your
MCX-2000 music archive. Proper use of the Submenu
commands such as New, Change and Delete (...) help you
re-organize your music collection.
n Additional Submenu commands, Change Song Order and CDDB
Info, are available from the song list view of the "VB Works" album
that you've recently created. Though you can arrange the song order
using the Change Song Order command, the CDDB Info command
doesn't work any longer because VB Works is your own 'private'
album.

Deleting the PCM Data

When you record or import CD songs or other audio, the
MCX-2000 normally stores them both in PCM and MP3
formats (factory setting), since the unit currently supports
original CD creation by compiling PCM song data. If you have
no plan to create your original CD and want to save the space
on the built-in hard drive, you can use a recording option
(page 96) to set the MCX-2000 to import songs only in MP3
format. Keep in mind, however, that this setting change
doesn't apply to existing songs (their PCM data still remains).
In other cases, you may need PCM data for songs recorded
from old analog tape, but not for CD songs. To ensure
flexibility for all these requirements, the MCX-2000 lets you
delete PCM data for each song individually.
1 Open a song list view screen.
n If you want to delete PCM data for songs from a specific album, open

If you want to delete PCM data for any selected songs, open its song
list view from Top Menu > Library > Music Archive > All Songs.
2 If necessary, confirm which song has both PCM and MP3
data. Move the selection (highlight) to a target song, and
then select the Information command from the Submenu.
