Editing the Library
As you collect more music and audio and expand your
MCX-2000 library, you may feel like arranging the content for
various purposes—for example, manually edit song data of
your favorite CD because it’s too new to retrieve correct data
from CDDB, or because it’s a homemade demo CD from
your musician friend. There may also be cases in which you
want to change attributes (album or artist) of specific songs
to compile your original CD, or you want to delete existing
PCM song data to open up space on the MCX-2000’s built-in
hard drive. In daily use, you may often create several playlists
for archived songs, or register a new Internet radio station to
the Presets list. This section explains how to customize your
music library to your own needs and preferences.

Typing Text Characters
While editing song data from the music archive or while
configuring the MCX-2000, you may be asked to specify
items (parameter values) with typed text. To facilitate this,
the MCX-2000 allows you to type text using the on-screen
character palette or a PS/2 keyboard, according to your
preference.

PS/2 Keyboard
Another way to type text characters is to use a PS/2
keyboard connected to the MCX-2000. If you’re familiar with
typing through a PC keyboard, this option is probably
quicker and easier than using the on-screen character
palette.
