Bob, sorry, you did misunderstand, I'm not using the floppy drive.
quote "the easiest way to convert to 7k format is to drag to and from song manager, taking out non-used file types options."

drag 5k format to 7k and back in song manager and you have 7k format on the computer without having loaded or saved anything with the floppy, and you have automatically cut down the unused sub-files too. Then you can easily arrange 20 files to a floppy in the folder order you want completely avoiding the need for any copy and delete operations on the 7k itself. All far easier than going through load and save physically on the 7k.

because I edited the file names the only operation I needed with the floppy is the entire disk copy, which goes surprisingly quickly in 7k format anyway.

I did hundereds of disks on the 8 MB card, backing up, formatting, then starting again with new files. Then I compound merged all the 8 MB backups into the folder order I wanted on a large card using song manager. Thus I knew what size of card was needed to accomodate my entire technics archive before I bought it.
