Importing and exporting tracks

You can import and export individual tracks to and from a PC via the FAT parti-
tion. The files used for track import and export are 16-bit 44.1 kHz mono WAV
format (and must have the .WAV extension). Audio in other formats intended
for import must be converted before the import operation.

Importing a track

Before you start, make sure that you have selected the partition containing the
song to which you want to import the track, and that the song is loaded.
