Terenceyoungnow Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hello all. I've downloaded the Casio Data Manager and transferred my songs over to ,my PC. Once I've transferred them over how do i find the wave files? I don't know how to pull them up so I can transfer them into Audacity. Any help you can give is appreciated.

- T - Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Terence With your Data Manager software running, left click on the "Preferences" tab at the top of the window, then look at the data field labeled "WAVE File Folder Path", which shows you where Data Manager has been storing your audio files on your computer's hard drive. You can change that to something more convenient if you like, but you would need to use Windows Explorer to manually move the files that have already been stored there, to the new location, then use the "Browse" at the right of that data field to point Data Manager at the new location. Data Manager will always remember the last location it was pointed at. The "User Data File Folder Path", above that, does the same thing for non-audio files. If you download, say, some new User Rhythm files to your PC's hard drive, you use the "Browse" at the right of that field, to point it at the location on your hard drive where you put the downloaded files, so that Data Manager can download them to the keyboard's User Memory. Data Manager will remember and come back to that same location the next time you run it. Yes, you can use Windows Explorer to bulk load User Files from your PC's hard drive to the MUSICDAT folder on the SD Card, but once you put the SD Card back in the keyboard, you have to load those files into the keyboard's User Memory one-at-a time, which for large numbers of files, can take " f - o - r - e - v - e - r ". Data Manager can bulk load files directly from the hard drive to the keyboard's User Memory in one fell swoop, but if you do this, I recommend not transferring more than 15 files at a time, otherwise, you run the risk of buffer overflow and end up with some files missing on the keyboard. On a typical bulk download of 100 files, 14 or 15 just get lost, and only 85 or 86 make it to the keyboard. The transfer is just a "copy" process, so all of the original files will still be on the PC's hard drive, but it can take some time to figure out which files did not make it and re-transfer them, so it is easier and faster to transfer fewer files at a time and get it done right the first time. If you have not already done so, you can download a Data Manager 6.1 User's Guide from: http://support.casio.com/storage/en/support/download_files/en/008/manuals/DM61-E-1A.pdf Good luck !
