Saving BR-900CD Track Data
in WAV/AIFF Format
(WAV/AIFF Export)
You can convert the BR-900CD’s track data into WAV or
AIFF files and save these on your computer. After converting
your mastered tracks to WAV or AIFF files, you can easily
use your computer to create audio CDs with the data, as well
as load the data into audio applications.
Resolving insufficient memory issues
When exporting WAV/AIFF
When exporting WAV or AIFF files, memory cards must
have enough free space to hold the files. If too little memory
is available and the “Card Full!” error message appears,
there are two approaches you can take to overcome the
problem.
Deleting unneeded data from the memory card
1. Back up the data on the card (see p. 175).
2. Erase unneeded songs (see p. 77).
3. Also erase track data other than that for the tracks you
want to export (see p. 73).
4. Export the data.
5. Restore the backed up data to the BR-900CD (see the
Step 5 “HINT” on p. 175).
Using a high-capacity memory card
For more on supported memory cards (CompactFlash) for
the BR-900CD, refer to the separate sheet “About Memory
Cards.”
