There are two ways to carry out the Song Copy proce-
dure. Select the method depend on the amount of free
space on the destination disk (100 MB for Zip disks).
The size of the current song is shown in the display.
Playable:
Use this method to copy songs that use relatively little
data onto disks with sufficient memory to hold them.
If the destination drive or disk already has saved song
data on it, then you can copy additional songs that
will fit within the remaining free space.

Use this method to copy songs that are too large to be
saved on a single disk. The song data is converted into
a data format specifically for saving (archives format),
and is copied onto multiple disks according to the free
space on the disks. This means that it will not be possi-
ble to directly play back the song data. If you wish to
play back song data copied in archive format, you will
need to reload the archive data into the current drive
using the appropriate procedure. Furthermore, song
data cannot be copied onto disks that already have
songs recorded on them.

About Optimize
When operations such as punch-in recording are
repeated, old (now unused) performance data
still remains on the disk drive. By erasing this
unnecessary data from the disk drive, you can
free up a significant amount of disk space.
When you find that you cannot save something to
a single disk, then try the “Song Optimize” proce-
dure (p. 169). This way, you can reduce the mem-
ory required to save a song, enabling you to save
to a single disk.
