The point is we are talking about file names, any song we generate in our keyboards has a file name. Your example: "01001kn7.cmp" is the first file in than folder it was saved to. That folder would be on your SD card under (drive) private\technics\kn7000\tfldxxx. If it was made through the KN-7000 there would also be 6 othe files of the same name (01001kn7), but different file extensions and they are .act, .efc, .lsw, .msp, .pmt and sqt. Older files would have .cmp, lsw, .pmt, .sqt and tm as file extensions, but they will still work with the KN-7000 which is a DOS based computer, otherwise we would not be able to hook our computers (PC)to it. I think we are getting beyond the relm of most keyboard owner's. If you want to continue use my personal e-mail.

Oh! jrw, you are so right.. This whole thread has read like ancient greek to me!!!!!

You are talking about file names, they are irrelevant to the question that John has asked. John wanted to print out his audio song names.

If we use your suggestion to look up our audio song names we will get a printout of:

AOB001.SA1
AOB002.SA1
AOB003.SA1 etc etc

thus it tells us nothing about which file contains which song, and no useful information about song names whatsoever.

You continue to talk of technics files, when John asked about audio files. This is irrelevant but even if we wanted to know our technics song names and followed your procedure we would get a printout:

01001KN7.*
02001KN7.*
03001KN7.* etc etc the number and type of extensions depending on the page 2 save selections.

again no useful information about which file contains which song title, given that the sequencer file can anyway contain 10 song titles.

Let us look at midi files if by a jump of the imagination we used this procedure, and get a printout of:

SOB0001.MID
SOB0002.MID
SOB0003.MID

not many midi song titles to be seen there either.

Finally, even if you wanted a directory list, which is of no use in identifying audio, technics or midi song names anyway, there is no point in using dos since many free directory lister programs are available in windows.

Why your personal e-mail, keep it out in the open & let the members decide whether or not it is beyond their realm we are all big boys & girls

I have the feeling this discusion is not of interest to the majority of reader's in this form. A question was asked and I answered it, with qualifactions, and someone with superior brilliance said it couldn't be done. Because snow melts and might danage your computer I have decided to take it private.Questions/comments can be directed to jrwsalem@hotmail.com. FYI I'm listening to a medley of songs that I copied to a floppy disk and SD disk with the direction I gave. If I have a file called 01001kn7.xxx on my computer/keyboard I know what is in that file, after all I created it and if the author doesn't know what he has made who does?

I find your comments a bit presumptuous & demeaning of the people of this forum, it is for them to decide whether or not threads or posts on this forum are or are not of interest to them in fact this subject has been discussed previously one way or another.
You decided to contribute to this thread by posting publicly which is in the spirit of the forum but now for whatever reason you want members to email you and enter into this discussion privately which in my opinion is not in the spirit of this forum.
There are many people of brilliance here some more than others and all at different levels and in different fields but ALL contribute in one way or another

the only point I've made is that John wanted to know the song names of audio tracks on sd, which have nothing to do with floppy disks or technics files in the first place. No amount of sd dos listing will give you the names of your audio songs, as it will not give you the names of your technics or midi songs either. It is also quite useless to identify any playlists you have created, which are pretty crucial for audio songs if you have re-ordered the songs as John is now able to do - see my earlier answers.

Now all of a sudden you say that you have to "remember" which song is in which position in which folder, at last an acceptance of the fact that your printout has not told you any sd song names at all. You may remember the song positions on the last floppy disk you just made. Fill a large sd card with many dozens of audio tracks, then make a couple of dozen playlists with different auto-play orders of those songs, then add many hundreds or even thousands of technics and midi songs. I would suggest that "remembering" which song is in which position will then be a rather more implausible task with a printout with no audio song names, no technics song names and no midi song names.

Sorry I didn't mean to offend you. I am not questioning your, or anyone else's, intelligence. I didn't ask the menbers to e-mail me privately, with the exception of one. I wrote "if you want to continue use my personal e-mail". My presumption was: a belief that most of the members were getting tied of the mental fencing between techicsplayer and myself. Why not ask the members if they enjoy the argumentative posting, or would they rather have an informational posting. Why is it demeaning to assume people know what is in the files they have computer/keyboard? I will be gone till 10/13/03 will continue then, if the members have no objection.

Thanks Alex for keeping to the subject, naming MP3 files, at present I have in the region of 4,000 MP3s and this guy JRW who suggests that I should commit this lot to memory, the mind boggles, at the age of 76 and just holding on buy a thread I have many senior moments, as for DOS, urgh! he has to be joking, anyway Alex I have solved the problem, I went online last night and bought (Advanced MP3 Catalog Pro 3.05) from a company in Canada for £22 I feel this is a very good program and all I will need, so thanks mate for your help, I also downloaded the ScreenHunter, onother good program, so thanks again .
