TASCAM SS-CDR200/SS-R200/SS-R100

6 − File and folder operations (FINDER screen)

You can manage audio files on USB/SD/CF media in a

folder structure. You can also manage MP3/WAV files on a

data CD in a folder structure (SS-CDR200 only).

You can select a folder or file and then enter the

FINDER

screen for that file and folder.

When working with USB/SD/CF media, on the

FINDER

screen, you can create folders, edit the names of folders

and files, delete folders and files and add files to the

playlist, for example. You can also perform operations

directly in the

FINDER

screen to move and copy files

between folders.

When working with an unfinalized data CD that has

recorded MP3 or WAV files, the only operations that can

be performed from the

FINDER

screen are creating folders

and changing the current folder. You cannot edit or add

files to a playlist.

In the case of a CD that contains audio CD format files,

the audio CD

FINDER

screen will open. (See “Opening the

audio CD FINDER screen” on page 56.)

TIP

By using a card reader or other interface to read files on

USB/SD/CF media from a computer, you will be able to use

your computer to modify the folder structure, edit folder

and file names, and delete folders and files. If you perform

this type of editing from your computer, be aware that the

playback order of the files on the unit may have changed.

data CD containing MP3/WAV files or a blank CD is loaded
