On the 

BROWSE

 Screen, you can view the contents of the Music 

Folder, which contains the audio files on the SD card that 
you can use with the DR-40. On this screen, you can also play 
and erase selected audio files, create folders, add files to the 
playlist and so on. (See “Playlist” on page 77.)

If you connect the DR-40 with a computer by USB, or mount 
the SD card on a computer using a card reader or other input, 
you can change the folder structure within the 

MUSIC

 Folder 

and erase files from the computer as you would the contents 
of a hard drive. Furthermore, you can change file names from 
the computer.
