Combining Recorded Tracks
(Combine Function)
(Combine Function)
Use the Combine Function to combine tracks on a
recorded MD. The two tracks to be combined need not
to be consecutive and the latter track to be combined
can be the track which comes before the former one in
the track number order. This function is useful for
combining several songs into a single medley, or
several independently recorded portions into a single
track. When you combine two tracks, the total number
of tracks decreases by one and all tracks following the
combined tracks are renumbered.
