When the above procedure is finished, select Top Menu > 
Library > Music Archive > Artists for the artist list view 
screen. Notice that the ‘previous’ artists, Jazzy Rocks, 
Jazzy Pops and Pop Rockers, have no associated 
albums or songs.
If you have no plan to add songs for these artists, you can 
delete them one at a time using the Delete this Artist 
command from the Submenu. Select OK in a confirmation 
dialog box that appears, and the selected artist is deleted 
from the list view.
Next, check the ‘previous’ genres, Rock and Pop, in the 
genre list view by selecting Top Menu > Library > Music 
Archive > Genres. Notice that Rock is empty, but Pop still 
has albums from other artists. You can delete Rock using the 
Delete this Genre command from the Submenu; but if 
deleting Pop, you will lose other artists’ albums and songs.
Here, we’ve shown the general concepts of editing your 
MCX-2000 music archive. Proper use of the Submenu 
commands such as New, Change and Delete (...) help you 
re-organize your music collection.
n Additional Submenu commands, Change Song Order and CDDB 
Info, are available from the song list view of the “VB Works” album 
that you’ve recently created. Though you can arrange the song order 
using the Change Song Order command, the CDDB Info command 
doesn’t work any longer because VB Works is your own ‘private’ 
album.
Deleting the PCM Data
When you record or import CD songs or other audio, the 
MCX-2000 normally stores them both in PCM and MP3 
formats (factory setting), since the unit currently supports 
original CD creation by compiling PCM song data. If you have 
no plan to create your original CD and want to save the space 
on the built-in hard drive, you can use a recording option 
(page 96) to set the MCX-2000 to import songs only in MP3 
format. Keep in mind, however, that this setting change 
doesn’t apply to existing songs (their PCM data still remains). 
In other cases, you may need PCM data for songs recorded 
from old analog tape, but not for CD songs. To ensure 
flexibility for all these requirements, the MCX-2000 lets you 
delete PCM data for each song individually.
Open a song list view screen.
n If you want to delete PCM data for songs from a specific album, open 
its song list view from Top Menu > Library > Music Archive > Albums. 
If you want to delete PCM data for any selected songs, open its song 
list view from Top Menu > Library > Music Archive > All Songs.
If necessary, confirm which song has both PCM and MP3 
data. Move the selection (highlight) to a target song, and 
then select the Information command from the Submenu.
Empty — album and song counts are zero (0)
Both PCM and MP3 data are stored
