Couple of RNS questions

[Lyons]

I read through the online manual there and cant find the answer to either of these questions.

1) Is it possible to select more than 1 track at a time to copy from CD/SD to the HDD? Apart from selecting a whole folder.

2) On the HDD, i saved a folder of music within another folder, so if i want to play music in that folder i have to open the main folder, then a sub folder. Is there any way to get rid of 1 folder, so i only need to open 1 to be able to play a song? Hope that makes sense!

Cheers

1) No

2) Yes you can copy that folder to a new location. Use the same method, select the folder and insert here I think, then delete the old folders.

I don't think you can select individual tracks. You can copy albums across and if you burn the CD/DVD right, you should be able to copy the tracks you want to the folders you want.

eg
Your HDD looks like this:

Music\Rap\Eminem\Track 01
Music\Rap\Eminem\Track 03
Music\Rap\Eminem\Track 04
Music\Rap\Dr Dre\Track 12
Music\Rap\Dr Dre\Track 15

and on the CD you have
Music\Rap\Eminem\Track 02
Music\Rap\Dr Dre\Track 13
Music\Rap\Dr Dre\Track 14

and copy them across, you will end up with


Music\Rap\Eminem\Track 01
Music\Rap\Eminem\Track 02
Music\Rap\Eminem\Track 03
Music\Rap\Eminem\Track 04
Music\Rap\Dr Dre\Track 12
Music\Rap\Dr Dre\Track 13
Music\Rap\Dr Dre\Track 14
Music\Rap\Dr Dre\Track 15

Or at least is my understanding. Haven't tried it yet.

For the second question, you would have to delete the folder you wanted to skip and copy across the songs.

So if you had:


Music\Rap\Dr Dre\Dre\2001\Track 02
Music\Rap\Dr Dre\Dre\The Chronic\Track 01
and wanted

Music\Rap\Dr Dre\2001\Track 02
Music\Rap\Dr Dre\The Chronic\Track 01 (skipping out folder 'Dre'),

 then you would have to delete 'Dre' and its contents and copy all of 2001 and The Chronic to the Dr Dre folder.

Hope that makes sense and please correct me if I'm wrong.

Aye, so basically copy the sub folder out to the main HDD "home page", if you like, then delete the folder it came from?

Stealthwolf, i think i understand that, but if what hedge says works then its a bit easier to get my head around!

Before I waste more CD-R's tonight, if i fill 1 with say 300 tracks, not within a folder, can i copy entire contents of said CD-R into a folder on the HDD, or are they all just seen as single tracks, and thus goes back to my question 1?

You're probably better off copying stuff to a SD card.  You can store more and it copies quicker.

It works. 

If you really wanted to copy an entire CD-R then I think you may have to put all the songs/folders into a single folder. It's not so straight forward.

[Lyons]

Im thinking that. It hasnt arrived yet and theres only so much Bryan Adams i can listen to  .

[Lyons]

It does sound like the 2GB SD card will solve the problem, as the biggest genre folder I have on my computer is 900 odd MB, therefore it will allow me to copy all songs at once.

[stealthwolf]

Could you not use CDRWs or DVDRWs?

[Lyons]

Still wouldnt be big enought to take that complete 900mb folder.

My SD card should arrive within the next day or two.

The folder deleting thing worked Hedge, thanks.
