Q: How do I delete files? 

Every time you write new files to memory, all old files will be deleted from internal memory 

Q: I have lots of files and want them to be played in a specific sequence. Can you suggest an 
easy way to do this? 

Files are played back in the order you wrote them to the memory card. If you have lots of files, 
you can use the following technique instead of manually copying files one by one to get the 
order you want: 

 

1.

 

Name your files in a consistent way such that your operating system can easily sort 
them in the order you want (such as “001.mp3”, “002.mp3”, etc…) 

2.

 

Sort files by name on your computer so that the first file you want played is at the top of 
the list 

3.

 

Select all files 

4.

 

With all files still selected, right click on the very first file and select “Send To” and select 
the appropriate drive 
 
OR 
 
With all files still selected, right click on the very first file and drag and drop to your 
memory card 

 A Note about MP3: 

MP3 is a popular format for sound files and supports different bitrates. As with all MP3 files and 
devices, the playback time is dictated by the bitrate of your audio files. Recording programs 
often give you the option of selecting which bit rate to use. A recording with a higher bit rate 
provides better sound quality but also larger files.
