Hi All,
I belong to a keyboard club and workshop that meets once a month. Several of the members do not own computers. Several members want to transfer info from 2 or 3 SD Cards to a new bigger one. Is there a fast way of doing this without a computer?
Are they stuck with loading a file from one of the folders, putting in the new card and saving? I know this will be very time consuming. My thoughts would be to save from the SD Card to a floppy, then save the file to the new SD Card. Any other thoughts?
Best Regards,
Dave

Dave,

Your name rings a bell in my head. Were you a member of the OBI?

If anyone in your group owns a laptop computer and has KN7000Explorer tool you could spend a little time at your meetings and accomplish what each member wants to do a lot faster. Without a computer it is a drag.

Hi,

Yes, Fran is absolutely right. You can read about the tool at my site http://kn-sdexplorer.has.it

By the way I hosted my personal website on a professional host server with my own domain. Now my website also has a guest book

The info about the tool is also on my site:

Hi Fred
How does your explorer tool deal with Audio conversion I.E. as in SD Jukebox

Hi John,

Sorry, but our tool does all as specified: for technics songs and styles. Maybe in the near future we will support MIDI management. The Audio support like SD Jukebox is impossible because of secure crypting.

Regards, Fred

Thanks for your replies. Fran, since I don't know what OBI stands for - don't think I'm a member - enjoy your comments and knowledge over the years on the Forum. Fred: Have been reading about your SD-Explorer and am thinking about buying it. John: Thanks to you for knowledge and past recordings that I am still enjoying. Sooo gang, it looks to me without a laptop or PC it's back to the horse and buggy day's. Dan Hansen sent me to Bill Norries site on Tips, but again a computer is needed. Thanks Dan. Other suggestions????
Best Regards,

Hi Fred
Why if sd explorer cannot back up audio, the audio folder is backed up in sd explorer consequently wasting a lot of space in the backup file, since when you restore it the audio does not work anyway. The Technics song manager correctly ignores the audio folder when backing up so the backup file is much smaller and does not waste hard drive space for no reason like sd explorer.

Jonnie,

I Think the guys are saying their prog,
is nothing to do with audio and why should
it be ,its a tool for managing sd cards and
Technics files.
Hope this helps

Yes it is just a Technics and SD card tool and SD cards contain audio and when you back up with the Technics Song Manager it ignores the audio because the file is small but if you back up with Fred's SD Explorer it backs up the audio in a big file as a waste of space in the backup file, because when you restore it the audio does not work, that is why the Technics Song Manager ignores the audio. If you have a lot of audio songs the SD Explorer backup is MUCH bigger than the Technics Song Manager backup and it's all a waste of space on your hard drive.

Jonnie,
Sorry,I didnt realise it backed up the audio in this way.

Hi Folks,

The problem with Audio backup is escalated and we will look into this. I will keep you posted.

This is a limitation of the digital rights encryption of the audio, it has to be checked in and out through Jukebox and cannot be copied or backed up - the reason Technics Song Manager ignores it. I mailed Fred about this one a long time ago, it simply needs the code changing to ignore the SD_AUDIO folder.
