This section describes in detail how I used the Musicmatch software to achieve my objectives.  

First, in order to efficiently evaluate the source material, I copied all the CDs to disk (in WAV format) 
and created a master library using Musicmatch. Once I had the library, I created a hard copy index so I 
could see at a glance all the species represented, duplications, track locations, times, etc. I then listened to 
the material and decided which tracks I was going to use (especially in the case of duplications).  
 
The next step was to edit the selected tracks to remove voice announcements and to create separate output 
files of songs and calls, as necessary. This step constitutes the bulk of the work (I used Adobe Premiere to 
perform the audio editing tasks).  
 
I saved the edited files in WAV format which I then converted to MP3 format and created a second 
library that would eventually be copied to the DJ 30. 

 

 
The first step is to copy the CDs to disk which is very straightforward using the Musicmatch software. 
Simply insert a CD, select format and destination (see Musicmatch Screen 1) and hit “Copy from CD”. 
Note: I didn’t do any conversion to MP3 at this point, I just copied the tracks in waveform format.

organized the master 
CD tracks on disk.

Peterson Eastern and 
Western CDs do not 
appear in the CD track 
index.
