5 – Working with Files and Folders (BROWSE screen)
On the BROWSE screen, you can view the contents of the
MUSIC folder, which contains audio files, on the SD card. On
this screen, you can also play and erase selected audio files,
create folders, add files to the playlist and so on. (See "Using
the playlist" on page 46.)
TIP
If you connect the unit with a computer by USB or mount
the SD card on a computer using a card reader or other

structure within the MUSIC folder and erase files as you

change file names from the computer.
